Fall to Rise by Love Over Gold

by Love Over Gold: Pieta Brown & Lucie Thorne

/
1.
Then we were flying Over the lights of that sleepless town Oh and we weren't looking down From an old wooded dancehall Into the streets and out in the dark What was to come and all that's come to pass Then we were flying Over the lights of that restless town Oh and we weren't looking down Up in a stairwell Moon streaming full through a balcony door Oh for the court and spark that starts the fall When we were flying Over the lights of that reckless town Oh and we weren't looking down
2.
Circling the ground, it's such a long ways back Out among the hills there's a little shack Down in the valley, the wind in the pines There's no way of staying in between the lines Walking in the dark, I notice all the lights Guess I had to do things wrong to get a few things right Down in the valley, the wind in the pines There's no way of staying in between the lines Hear the wind blowing, see the eagle fly There's no way of knowing how or when or why Down in the valley, the wind in the pines There's no way of staying in between the lines I lost track of all the hours, I can't name this day Still I keep on hoping I will find my way Down in the valley, the wind in the pines There's no way of staying in between the lines

It's coming up crimson, coming up gold Coming up bright, coming on cold And the smoke is rising in drifts of white From factory stacks at the edge of town in the shifting light Riding out past these steep-pitched roofs With my very blood pinging and brimming and swimming with the thought of you And of us driving between cities last night Your pretty hands at the wheel, me curled up on the passenger side It's coming up crimson, coming up gold Rushing up so wild and taking a hold And it's a blushing smile that I can't hide How'd you do that thing and light up all these lights Past the window boxes, past the flowering vines Out past the old red forest, out past the wind turbines I can't keep still when I'm feeling this way I'm heading down to the Escobar Fjord at the break of the day

Listening not to know Just to try to understand Just to try Felt just like a vision quest Maybe it was just a test Just a test 10, 000 years of Holocene Disappearing just like snow And every spring you still grow On the earth among the butterflies Up from the ground, the colors of the crow Just outside of old Eau Claire Through the tunnel, are you there? Are you there? Dreaming up tattoos in your head While I slept deeply in your bed In your bed Towing 350 parts Per million of carbon love Can we safely hold? 10, 000 years of Holocene Disappearing just like snow And every spring you still grow On the earth among the butterflies Up from the ground, the colors of the crow Sing the dirt, sing the fields, Sing the forest while it's here Don't stop dancing, take the time To find the land and carry it Carry it Bow and arrow, water and stone Carving through the velvet bone In harmony Here or there or everywhere We fall to rise, this is in your eyes And it comforts me 10, 000 years of Holocene Disappearing just like snow And every spring you still grow On the earth among the butterflies Up from the ground, the colors of the crow

Up from the gate Take the track all the way To the clearing on the hill Up where it's quiet still In the summer's heat With silks that you'd weave Work the loom with its steady clack Our love's woven like that Where we let the world slide From this sweet mountain side In this life that we share Little bird, gentle bear In the winter you'd forge Hammered steel to a sword The sweat and carbon black Our love is strong like that Drinking blackberry 'shine Under cascading skies Your hand at my back Our love is sweet like that Where we let the world fall Here away from it all I've been right here by your side And darlin you're still here by mine Where we let the world slide From this sweet mountain side In this life that we share Little bird, gentle bear

Causeway 03:36
I know it's early, But I've been awake, I'm gonna walk Over that cresting hill past the house Down where the road Swings to the left The light is changing up on the ridge I'm gonna stand on that causeway River in flood, song in my head I'm not going back Nothing to chase now No-one to answer, no-one to tell It's only a question That I've always had, I know it so well The hours can hide me Here with the shadows just coming around I'm gonna stand on that causeway River in flood, lost in the sound I'm not going back There are still stars out Oh how the future burns with the past I'm gonna stand on that causeway Heart running wild as the river runs fast I'm not going back

Starlings out on a burning wind Sweeping high above the Midewin Little Bluestem under the weeds What you find, what you need Broken bike and an old truck tire Rusted wheels, rusted wire Mama's picture hanging from a chain What you lost, what remains Sending messages straight down the line Driftless now, will you ever be mine? Once was tall grass down a dark hall Water falls down a crying wall Dust clustered in the corners like drifts of snow What you had, what you know Sending messages straight down the line Driftless now, will you ever be mine? Looking straight ahead, aiming high Through the open air of a prairie sky Memories swimming in the morning light What you got wrong, what you got right Sending messages straight down the line Driftless now, will you ever be mine?
8.
I've got you on my mind I've got you on my mind Been trying to fight it but you're Not the forgetting kind Can't make heads or tails I can't make heads or tails Been trying to fight it but you're Caught up in my sails Down to the river, out to the sea That's where you've been taking me Nobody's fault but mine Nobody's fault but mine Been trying to fight it but I'm Tangled in your line Down to the river, out to the sea That's where you've been taking me

Royal blue hat from the five and dime Spilling gut whiskey into fancy wine Branded by demons and a jagged line Asking for favors and water and sun Belonging nowhere, holding no one Holding no one Arms of forgiveness forgiven by way Of giving up hope with nothing to say Stumbling through streets, searching faces and rest Dreaming in shadows, knees to the vest Dancing in quiet and stillness, and blessed Holding no one One for the money, two for a show Three for tomorrow lost in snow Tracks telling stories, night's almost blind Another in another dark left behind Taking chances of any kind Holding no one
10.
To The Sun 02:55
Came in on a spring wind like the oldest spell Drawn like a flower to the sun When you're here with me Oh babe I never felt so sweet I'm gonna stay right here You can show me how that spell got spun We won't need to go out, we don't need no phone There's no one else I'd wanna tell When you watch me coming down those stairs Round brown shoulders and tangled hair I'm gonna stay right here You can show me all around the world
