Dark brown hair
And eyelash
Reappear
In a flash
Now's the only
Time I know

Early morning's
Greatest deed
What's forsaken
I do not need

There is water
There is snow

Settling down
Door and room
Keep it tidy
Keep it like home
Now's the only
Time I know

Come here sparrow
Watch my hand
Black and blue seeds
That's what my hand can
Now's the only
Time I know

Do my hair
And paint eyelash
Reappear
In a flash
There is more
I'd like to know

Nine-fifteen
Then I'm done
Quiet front seat
And drive around

Through the water
Through the snow

    So beautiful. Not as oblique/surreal as some of her other songs, but still evokes a feeling all enveloping and very fever ray. I like the whole feel but at times, somn specific part stands out, like this today: "Come here sparrow Watch my hand Black and blu,vfe seeds That's what my hand can" It's like that long term depression state but you're still connected by a thread. in her head/the seeds to the sparrow all black and blue, but she still has something to offer.
