She said "Do you realize how a monarch butterfly moves in migration? A single one is born and goes the one direction that it knows, and that's it's purpose. So a little life arrives and leaves, and only sees a little piece of the equation. Because they only live so long, the distance that they need to go takes generations." I told her I was bored. She said "Imagine forty years from now when you're dying. Picture yourself coming back to be with me again, right here in this moment. Would you feel that way? Or would it be replaced with a joy so overwhelming?" My love has that kind of heart She'd sew the fins to broken sharks And bring elephants their ivory My love has that kind of heart She makes it stop before it starts & we do our part on through the snow In our migration

"Penny for your thoughts?" "I think you hurt yourself too often. Spend the penny on a drink, so you don't have to hear the words." We're smoking in your car But this will also be forgotten When the clouds were made of cotton And the bruises made of berries That stained your lips In the summer You tell me that you love me I wish you'd tell me that in person Instead of when I'm dreaming When you're written by my brain You're in the hallway cold And my heartbeat when it's stopping When the clouds are made of cotton And the bruises made of berries That stained your lips In the summer (Chorus) Sing me in your tongue & Sweet Beothuk Words will echo Winter on the Exploits River Nothing's really lost, you know There's an aching in your bones And there's a static in the speakers And investigator ghosts Looking for the living proof There's a clearing by your house That the seasons have forgotten Where the clouds are made of cotton And the bruises made of berries That stained your lips In the summer (Chorus) Sing me in your tongue & Sweet Beothuk Words will echo Winter on the Exploits River Nothing's really lost, you know Sing me in your tongue Say the words and I'll deliver Winter on the Exploits River Nothing's really lost, you know? **
