As Much a Rising Sun as a Setting One

from EP #1 by Max García Conover

/

lyrics

Took a thousand years
Took a thousand years
For the weeds to bend
And the windows shake
I’m always running and I’m always late
I don’t want to say the sun rose for me
But I move, I move, I move, I move
And every time she stands up I do too

Took a dying house
Took a dying house
To lean its way into the lake
While the heron bends and the heron waits
Lake weeds grow from the muck to the sky
In time, in time, in time, in time
So every time they go I stay behind

In the wind, in the weeds, I know
I know she falls in the wind, in the weeds,
I know, I know she falls in the
Wind in the weeds and a tickle my knees
And a dry my shirt on a line in the breeze
I don’t want to say the sun burns for me
But I see, I see, I see, I see
And everything she falls on I believe

Took a wink of her eye
Took a wink of her eye
To send me back to the overgrown shore
Give my boat to the weeds I don’t need it anymore
I’m gonna sit with books that I read before
But didn’t get, didn’t get, didn’t get, didn’t get
So every time they ask I’m not ready yet

Took a thousand years
Took a thousand years
To plant my feet in the knee high grass
For the wind to come but it too shall pass
So I try to pay attention when I got the time
And the mind, and the mind, and the mind, and the mind
But she comes and goes and with her goes the light

In the wind, in the weeds, I know
I know she falls in the wind, in the weeds,
I know, I know she falls in the
Wind in the weeds and a tickle my knees
And a dry my shirt on a line in the breeze
I don’t want to say the sun burns for me
But I see, I see, I see, I see
And everything she falls on I believe

I wanna see myself turning into
Something like the weeds in the wind
Like the weeds in the wind

And the wind in the weeds and a tickle my knees
And a dry my shirt on a line in the breeze
I don’t want to say the sun burns for me
But I see, I see, I see, I see
And everything she falls on
Everything she falls on I believe
