lyrics

if there are loons here
they're trapped beneath the ice
closing their red eyes

(oh the eyes, the ice--what could hold the light better than)

come warm yourself by the fire
it will be gone soon
good luck warming
yourself by the moon

i will wear your shroud
like a scudding cloud
weaving in and out of the face
flitting fast across the moon.
oh the gloom.

i will hide in my
little green cloak even as all the smoke
fills up the room:
oh, the gloom.

dear friend scarecrow up in the tree bough
please tell me i wanna know how
how did you get uppa there today
they put you in the ground i figured that was where you would stay.

A lady came walking by with a tin pail
with wind in her hair tied into a pig tail
she said that her name was Alide and she asked me for mine
I said I never got one she said they're not too hard to find

I told her about all the little birdies
all a tweeting and a perchin all around over me
and i never understood just why i should make them afraid
ii told her that was all that i thought about names
theyre for scaring you and make you play someone else's game

"oh scarecrow--havn't you ever wanted to be a little birdie?"

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
