lyrics

I find fear in the home when I wake up
Do I love my beautiful friends enough? 
Help me open up
Give me time to know my luck

Did I leave a beauty on you? 
Did it come true? 
I know my love’s not easy to use 
But did it reach you? 
Say so 
Let me look 
Trace my hand on your book

Did I make a problem for you? 
I didn’t mean to 
Don’t erase it
Go angry at me
And I will agree
Let me Clear that up 
Rinse my name in your cup

As I walk under loving eyes
I brighten and pretty
At every gift you pour inside
I giggle like streams 
My pleasure, though, is double 
To see you laughing back at me
You’re laughing here with me  

When I’m making funny or mean
Don’t worry
Let my kids come summering through every room
Join them 
Share our luck 
Use this time
To open up

Fire on the Vine

This is the second in a series of weekly album reviews published by Andrew Dubber. If you haven’t already caught it, please check out his introductory post. The world appears to be littered with bearded young men with acoustic guitars and notebooks full of verse, access to old pianos, and mournful string players.
