As surely as the crow flies I will see you.
I'm bracing for a dawn that's yet to come.
I know it's hope that built this emerald lantern,
to light the way in case you don't come home.
It's been more than a year and myriad troubles.
A smarter soldier would have marched away,
but I won't turn from the horizon while I'm planted in this trench,
prayin' you'll recall our golden days.
Am I a dream you've forgotten?
A reverie that only I still know?
Those copper fields were frolicked by the both of us and yet,
here I am at home base all alone.
As surely as the fox hunts I will realize,
you slipped away before I thought to ask.
I've no energy to try but if you'll honor me one wish,
picture every sunlit moment, breathe, bask.
Am I a dream you've forgotten?
A reverie that only I still know?
Those copper fields were frolicked by the both of us and yet,
here I am at home base all alone.
Verdant light, keeping truths discreetly.
Tell me so, will the sun rise swiftly?
Am I a dream you've forgotten?
A reverie that surely you must know?
Those copper fields were frolicked by the both of us and yet,
here I am at home base all alone
(come home).
Here I am at home base all alone.
I am really grateful this album exists, and am awe-struck that it was recorded live. Beyond stunning voice and each song has its own life and shape, growing and surprising and soothing. Love. Chris Calabria
