about

inspired by our violinist/sax/singer, Claire <3 <3 <3

lyrics

She swings minor C sweetly
and once again she finds me when
I'm sitting at the old cafe
sipping visions from an iced latte.
She strums all of her strings numb,
patio adagios,
dirges dangled in the air
and flatted fifths all tangled in her hair.

She's wild in many ways the child
you used to know so long ago--
with sorrow falling all around,
and heaven's here with that sweet sound.
She's strange, she doesn't mind the rain,
lightning rings, she's giggling--
drenched as the branches fall
dressed up just like a china doll.

When everyone runs into hide,
she runs outside, she runs outside.
Watch her rise through the blue, watch her laugh so hard she cries.

She swings minor C sweetly, once again she finds me when.....
