"What A Lark!" lyrics
"What A Lark!"
White wagtail on the shores of the Baltic Sea
Sifting through the sand
Wagtail, are you wagging at me?
Well, who else would it be?
Everyone's in Tent City sound asleep
Sound asleep
Fire burning in your hands
And never burning up
I could have told you sooner
I'm nobody
Nobody but me
Tremblingly, fiercely me
A lark scraping the sky
With a gimlet eye fixed on clarity
Beautiful clarity
Fire burning in my hands
And never burning up
You bloom into awakeness
And emerge into day
Actors in a play
Amber sun-flecked eyes
Surfing the waves
Fire burning at both ends
And never, ever burning down
Or burning skin
Down the dunes
Grains of time fall slowly
And we're all incapable of
Giving of giving of giving of giving
In

Anya Nami - "Folk Rush" Hey, it's been a while
I had a glass of wine
Or two, or three, I didn't count
Where's my love? What happened with my life?
I better not find you lie in the ground
I can smell you miles away...
