lyrics

Halo, halo halo around the sumac grove. Lay down in the grove.

You know this place like you got born
you know the wind that sweeps through this corridor
you can feel it all funneling in from the north
the familiar needles of the forest floor
all the times you were welcomed through its door

The twisting of hair
in the jaws of the snare
there is blood on the snow
there is a halo
the trees are turning

The trees stand apart
or nestled in groves
but in some dark places
they're all in rows
the shadows are deep in the gathering glow

and you walk between them
the wind calls down
o the great open north
where I'm bound

i must trust in the dusk
i must trust in the way
you all release up through your eyes and your face
i must trust that fingers hold me
though there are many miles to sleep

i must trust when we wake up
i often do not
we will see the same dawn we will see the same dawn
we will travel on, we will travel on

One of the most powerful records in my collection. Perfect queer experimental folk. This is cool cuz it’s still Noel’le solo in their bedroom but it’s the start of Loone! Wish y’all would record more material!… Ansel__knight
