I’m at the edge, letting go, cutting the cable
I wouldn’t know how else to thank you even if I was able
Your light bends around me
Your light bends around me
Pockets of dirt and pine following the trail to you
Looking for a sign of redemption or some other subtle clue
Listen for the churchbells, turn your head from the light
Cast the first stone and then run from the fight
Your light bends around me
Your light bends around me
Your words are burning in my eyes
Homeward bound, fleetingly wise
His hands are burning up your thighs
Your teeth chewing lies
Now is just a bruise of love
The rapid pulse before a shove
This is just a bruise of love
What was below is now above
Begging so long it’s making me raw
Piercing your side with a trembling claw
You can’t blame me for wanting a theme
Preferring the march of a beauty queen
Now is just a bruise of love
The rapid pulse before a shove
This is just a bruise of love
What was below is now above
“We looked up to you” they said
It’s just me, the dial going red
Come back, all is forgiven
The stone moved, I am risen
The stone moved, I am risen
Now is just a bruise of love
The rapid pulse before a shove
This is just a bruise of love
What was below is now above
Yesterday I spent the afternoon (and evening!) playing some tunes in the beer garden at Pete’s Bar in Carnation, Washington (population 1823), and it was beautiful. The weather was perfect, the people were so nice and welcoming, the other singers were lovely, and the natural beauty of the area made my day out of the big city relaxing and fun.
I need to book a beer garden tour of small towns throughout the world.

The long way out is over here
Electricity pouring from the socket
Carbon monoxide kisses
An alarm wired to your front pocket
Come closer
Come closer
It’ll be ok
I’ll pour salt around your bed
To keep the nightmares away
From the roof I’ll keep watch all around
Until I don’t know night from day
Come closer
Come closer
It’ll be ok
I was holding on
Lord knows I held it in
But if you asked the stars
They’d say I should win
Come closer
Come closer
It’ll be ok

I’m taking a nice little break from a busy day, watching the boats go by and this bridge open and close:
I’ve paired this moment of bliss with some live Van Morrison, ‘Midnight Special’.
It’s a gorgeous Sunday, Earthlings, I hope you’re making the best of it!

You know you’re couchsurfing in Hollywood when these are strewn about the house:
It was a fun trip.
Best,
SJ
