about

i wrote this song when i was afraid and i did not know where to find comfort.

lyrics

cradle my head in your corduroy arms
for the candle is lighted and i am in harm's way
down here beneath the intoxicant moon
i am red like the rhubarb and cold like the spoon

though I long for peace, it makes no difference
and despite my pleas, i am inconsolable

there is no levity in my suffering,
when will this burden crumble?
there is a gravity that is smothering,
under this weight i stumble.
