lyrics

I accrued a crude likeness of you
Sketched it from the morning light
Drew a side profile scratched in the Prince Edward Island snow
By the time the dawn had broke you were broken in too
Searching for any home that might make a moon of you

Wind twists around the old weather vane again
Like a tendril it takes root now you've lost all direction
You can use the seven stars of the big dipper
To find polaris, lord only knows how much you've missed her

You can see it best from the rooftop after dark
When you're singing childhood songs that fill you with longing
When the nightbird choir strikes, it will call the tide
Like a trick of the light, see your chest fall and rise

Scrape the sinew from the skin of a story
Pull back the ivory of a history grown over

Meet me by the hollow tree, hang your dusty harp
Well you're no Ullyses but you're still after my heart
These are the end of days you know, is your house in order?
Are you the architect or the graveyard digger

I haven't cried during the first listen of a pop song in a long time, possibly ever. But Marsh just did it to me. This is deeply moving music. burbnluvr

The instrumentation and songwriting in this album is really top-tier. Aofie is one of my favorite folk/alt-country artists and she performs wonderfully, bringing her unique tone of voice to this project. This album was my first step into Aofie's artistry, and is firmly one of my favorite albums. rileyridgway
