lyrics

Well I'm not sure what happens next
To tell the truth I'm kind of lost
So many pathways lead astray from where I've sat
To catch a falling maple leaf and stick it in my hat

For I am strumming on the brick walls
Of the well inside my soul
Just trying to find an ancient rain song
That will make the empty full
I've got a pocket full of sticky notes
And ten strikes on the wall
And I know if I can Climb
Then I can Fall

My twisting, dark soliloquy drifts far
And then collides inside
A warm raindrop in my eye
Guitar strings and friendship rings
Are passing wonders in the Spring
Goodbye, goodbye goodbye goodbye!

Willamette waters wash me down
And cleanse me of my broken crown
For I have lent my brightest spark
To fleeting mantras in the dark
And longing cut your leather bounds
Let fall the tethers to the ground
I wake in calm without a sound

To find I found myself in Eugenetown

But what can I do?
Nothing, nothing nothing!
Nothing at all
I am a piece lost in the pile

Well we met Death down by the Bridge
There's some blue ribbons in the fridge
In searching blindly for some truth in the façade
We fucked around a lot this year
But alas, so did god

My sweeping Ocean Mystery
Swashbuckles bravely back at me
Unbows my buckled knees
Dirty ties and flirty highs
What fair ephemeralities
Can make me beg
Please, Please please please please please please please?

Willamette waters wash me down
And cleanse me of my broken crown
For I have lent my brightest spark
To fleeting mantras in the dark
And longing cut your leather bounds
Let fall the tethers to the ground
I wake in calm without a sound

To find I found myself in Eugenetown
To find I found myself in Eugenetown
