Sunday Sessions: "Battery Steele Land Preserve"
Available from March 4 - 11

If you head inland on Peaks Island, you'll end up at an old battery, spray-painted and overgrown and surrounded by white trees (yes, they're birch trees, but that's a coincidence).

Lots going on in the next few weeks. A small April tour is in the works -- I'll send out an email about that soon (to get on the email list, download this song or contact me: maxgarciaconover at gmail dot com).

lyrics

Battery Steele Land Preserve

elise if you knew your hands were a winter wind or less
elise would you pull your knees to your chest

bury my dog in the frozen pond
the bulrush as a rosary
six old hands and a hallowed song
he'll continue in the drying weeds

we saw so we climbed
got high sometimes
battery believe in me

tunnel run the brush and bramble hill
the same as we ever did
bottles in the clearing we laid and looked up
with wine our jokes and the wind

howl went the pond and lean the trees
and something came and pissed on our packs
but the shelter of a thicket held holding us
we slept shining in the winter black

we saw so we climbed
got high sometimes
battery believe in me

elise if you knew your hands were a winter wind or less
elise would you pull your knees to your chest

send it now to sweep clean the wind over me
take his tufts of hair my thoughtlessness
scurry down at dawn at the edge of the pond
he laid unburied in death

we saw so we climbed
got high sometimes
battery believe in me
