lyrics

well in my life,
there is a darkness
as cold as winter
and bright as now.

I've prayed for rain
and I've seen the floods
turned from the river
and walked through the mud

and oh how we've grown
and not changed at all
another summer
one last fall

and these are truly the last days
through all this changing, we stay the same

oh New England, how I love you.
Maybe more than you deserve.
But as my bones brace against your cold,
I know you are my home.

Carry me through the cracks in between
waking up and dreaming
and the confusion that comes with sleeping.

I remember once we ran away
dug a hole in which to hibernate
in the warmth of the roots and ground
we threw what we lost and knew what we found.

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
