Go Lightly

Jesse Marchant

Compositor: Jesse Marchant

Who are we
On a mountain
Still in repair
Old lover, the sea
I'm adrift
In your night fog

Hidden parts
Go lightly
I feel so bad
In my blood

Who can see
From the mountain
A silver path
All our love
Into the stream
All is slipping
When the night falls

Under stars
Under a streetlight
I fear the last was lost

Still in the night farther away
Live it out / conform to shape
This well may be a part of life
But I don’t like it
A lived denial fallen away
Even I can’t put it straight
Standing right in front of you
When I was oceans away

In a part

Well we don’t live so quietly now
And lies have followed me around
Light fissures forming into cracks
In a dull life leading you to stray
When the dark clouds clear out
A hollow reasoning to stay
A child is lying in the dark
Not knowing there is
Much to escape
And that dust will fall
As days go by
The windows fog
And there is no light
