lyrics

The cabin fevers sweat out
Windows are open wide
The welcoming scents of springtime
and the ocean’s changing tide

The fear was growing thick
at the bottom of my throat
My mind was playing tricks on me
Painting pictures of my broken memory
Painting pictures of my broken memory

Wendy’s knitting scarves
To keep me warm from winter storms
As the ghosts are working backhoes
Digging holes for me to roam.

In the evening moonlight,
She turns the kitchen floors
Into glassy ice and in figure skates
She’s twirling up through my storms
She’s twirling up through my storms

When that levee broke
and our baby took the fall
Wendy held the burden
as close as a mothers hug

She retreated inward
She felt she were to blame
There was nothing I could do for her
To help and ease her pain

Wendy played piano
Like a child who couldn’t see
Every song rang beautiful,
Notes ugly as could be.
Note ugly as could be.

Wendy sang songs of laughter
with her weary Swedish eyes

I leave the front door open
Walk into quite noise
Everything is vibrant
I can almost feel her striding
I can almost feel her striding
I can almost feel her striding next to me.
