about

“…Waiting, Hoekstra’s fifth solo effort, defies any easy comparisons, as always, Hoekstra opts for the unexpected… elusive and yet somehow irresistible.” (Amplifier Magazine)

lyrics

Crawling Out From Under

Stopped by a memory, Carl stands completely still
Eyes cast upward at blinking lights and the spaces that they fill
Between two banks of clouds, floating beyond the roof
Single drops of rain kiss the glass and sneak on through

Crawling out from under, everything he knows
Crawling out from under, crawling out from under - everything he knows

Some say we die everyday and that is how we live
Passing through the deepest blue, something about to give
He sees himself as a child, with an ear against the wall
But, all he hears are muffled voices and footsteps down the hall
Magnolias of the spring losing blossoms in the fall

Crawling out from under...

The air outside is cold as he opens an unmarked door
The streetlights point the way down a cloudy corridor
And he follows to the staircase, takes seven stories down
And wanders beneath the surface lost and then found
The stories he’s been told fall one by one to the ground
Like single drops of rain each with a single sound

Crawling out from under....
