lyrics
Julie
I am thinking of the time
we were sitting in your back yard
back in spring, 2009
and a cloud came
to console the sky
said you've got a lot of dying
left to do before you die
and the rain came
to console the roofs
said you've got a lot of morning
left before the afternoon
and you can just lie there
let your thoughts detune
let your life go out of focus
it doesn't matter what you do
and the moon came
to console the sun
said you've got a lot of lying
left to do before you're done
and I know you are scared now
that you'll be found out
but don't worry they can't prove it
past a reasonable doubt
and I stayed
thinking I would console you
tell you something so pretty
that it would have to be true
but I'll have a lot of letdowns
before I learn my worth
and there are no consolations
to be had upon the earth
