lyrics

summer came, a warning

In this breath of morning
i’ll be satisfied as long as i can
still see straight

in this breath of morning
i’ll be saddest without warning
why do i cry?

mama, something happened last night
thought i put up a pretty good fight
but where am i now?

mama, where did i go,
papa, where did i stay,
sister, what’s my name?

now i stand at my window, half-bathed in light,
and i’d like to fall
i stand at the window, half-bathed in light,
and i’d like to fall
into the street,
into the sea,
into the sky

last night when i finally slept
i met a man -
he waited for me on the other side
he had kindly eyes and every word he said to me
came from them, shining

but now i stand at my window, half-bathed in light,
and i’d like to fall
i stand at the window, half-bathed in light,
and i’d like to fall
into the street,
into the sea,
into the sky

summer came, a warning,
so i held my breath for morning -
yes, this very one
