lyrics

Wispy sun, you have shone too long
Your glow is unravelled, fallible
Like all affable little lights, you’ll become far-faded figures
Mammal things, you have grown too tall
Your arms have reached too far for the rising sea, the flooded forest
The hills are alive and the brush is burning
There was painted a stormy sky
The earth smolders, the oil dries
Starry night, you are aged unfathomably so
Unfathomably so
