kathryn calder - slip away

totally love this, even though the video is, as if you were on drugs, haha, weird bunny.

read a story from your sleep
you'll tell me everything i need to know
turn in thread into a verse
we sit and watch the fall return to earth

quietly as autumn comes
the days are getting shorter
one by one

waiting here for you
spinning on a shelf
i'm wasting my time waiting for myself

hide my hands behind my back
my fingertips, they hold a secret
i have to hold it lightly though
be very careful not to break it

i'm holding on to something lost
i should just let go and move on

when i'm fast asleep
it flutters in my palm
and by the time i wake up it is gone

slips away, slips away
slips away, slips away
slips away, slips away
slips away, slips away
