about

Every Lover’s Breath

I see the young girls walking all down the street
Never alone, but in twos and threes
Hair tied back, legs long and tan
Two or three rings on every hand
Sunlight, silver, shines in my face
It seems I’m getting older while these girls never age

Every lover’s breath is in the golden air
Every lover’s breath, clouds of something rare
Every lover’s breath

They’re like the flowing of the river, the blowing of the wind
Places I both have and haven’t been
A memory of the past frozen in youth
The changing world - my personal truth
If I’ve learned one thing, you can’t cheat death
But you can hold and savor every lover’s breath

Every lover’s breath is in the golden air

We’re living in a world where talk is king
Yet no two words mean a single thing
I’ll make a present of the present and hand it to you
In the dead of night, across skin so smooth
A silver chalice all filled with wine
Redemptive power - love - out of time

Every lover’s breath is in the golden air

lyrics

Harold Book - drums
Doug Hoekstra - vocals, rhythm guitars
Angus Wahoo - fuzz bass, slide guitar, lead guitars, organ
