lyrics
This is one for the shuttered home;
This is one for the drifting snow.
Braid your hair up, darling, I'll see you in the spring;
I'll murmur my way home on a starling's wing.
Out of the city, I'm coming home;
I'll meet you where the west wind blows.
With backbone up, I'm coming home;
I'll lay you down where the willow tree grows.
This is one for the July fire;
This is one for the celebration pyre.
Autumn always comes like the springtime flood;
And I'll sleep with you in a little room awash in love.
Out of the city, I'm coming home;
I'll meet you where the north star glows.
With backbone up, I'm coming home;
I'll lay you down where the willow tree grows.
Milwaukee's Chris Porterfield is one of my favorite songwriters, and the way that the sound gets layered and fleshed out by his collaborators in Field Report -- whew. Simon Balto
