Northern Downpour

If all our life is but a dream

Fantastic posing greed

Then we should feed our jewelry to the sea

For diamonds do appear to be

Just like broken glass to me

And then she said she can't believe

Genius only comes along

In storms of fabled foreign tongues

Tripping eyes

and flooded lungs

Northern downpour sends its love

Hey moon

please forget to fall down

Hey moon

don't you go down

Sugarcane in the easy mornin'

Weathervanes my one and lonely

The ink is running toward the page

It's chasin' off the days

Look back at boat feet

And that winding knee

I missed your skin when you were east

You clicked your heels and wished for me

Through playful lips made of yarn

That fragile Capricorn

Unraveled words like moths upon old scarves

I know the world's a broken bone

But melt your headaches

call it home

Hey moon

please forget to fall down

Hey moon

don't you go down

Sugarcane in the easy mornin'

Weather vanes my one and lonely

Sugarcane in the easy mornin'

Weather vanes my one and lonely

Sugarcane in the easy mornin'

Weather vanes my one and lonely

Sugarcane (hey moon) in

(Hey moon) the easy mornin'

Weathervanes (hey moon) my

(Hey moon) one and lonely

Sugarcane (hey moon) in (hey moon)

The easy (hey moon) mornin'

Weathervanes (hey moon) my (hey moon)

One (hey moon) and lonely

(Continues in background:)

Sugarcane (hey moon) in (hey moon)

The easy (hey moon) mornin'

Weathervanes (hey moon) my (hey moon)

One (hey moon) and lonely

Hey moon

please forget to fall down

Hey moon

don't you go down

You are at the top of my lungs

Drawn to the ones who never yawn

Hey moon

please forget to fall down

Hey moon

don't you go down

You are at the top of my lungs

Drawn to the ones who never yawn
