Soon, when the wind stops
The stillness comes again
Look at the oak trees, how they tremble
To shake off all they can
Now the city lights, they camouflage
The night sky up ahead
So I kick stones down the sidewalk
To think of you instead

Now I sing, sing the words twice
I write your letters down
They just left all together now
& come back as this song
So I sing, sing the words twice
They disappear in time
They've all come back together

Then, when the chill's gone
The warmth of feels descend
See the moon, it's the bright stone
That makes the river bend
Hear the tick tock of the clock talk
It's made of soon & then
So my feet move on the concrete
To think of you again

Now I sing, sing the words twice
I write your letters down
They just left all together now
& come back as this song
So I sing, sing the words twice
They disappear in time
They've all come back together
Come back together

The Words Twice

Eyes open in a sleepless dream
Full frames fell nil now still
Brights dulled by season's change
While my fingers run in circles
In this pocket terrain

I can't stop
With the envelope open
I can't stop
Now the pendulum's frozen
I can't stop
With a sharp corner faded
Now our language half broken
In a melody once spoken

The Call Signs
