Linen Curtains (Variation)
Drift
Afternoon light through thin fabric, making the dust dance. Breathy vocals float above acoustic guitar like they belong to the room itself, not any particular person. This is the track for when you realize you've been sitting still for an hour and it felt like five minutes.
Lyrics
Curtains lift and fall like breathing
Grass-cut air comes drifting through
Glass of water on the windowsill
Catching afternoon in blue
Nothing asked of me
Nothing owed
Just this room
Just this slow
Shadows stretch across the floorboards
Clock forgot to tell the time
Somewhere far a lawnmower hums
A sound like summer drawing lines
Nothing asked of me
Nothing owed
Just this room
Just this slow
The curtains know
What I keep forgetting
You don't have to hold it all
To be held
Just this room
Just this slow
