about

This is another one of the rare tunes that I wrote most of the lyrics to. Russ wrote the last part after the chorus because I was stuck.

I had a really beautiful experience walking home from the funeral home listening to this song. It's cheesy I know, but it started to snow right when Russ sang, "Now it seems like the sum of our dreams / is a full sky of falling snow."

...I miss him so much.

Date written: 9/4/10

lyrics

Oh my brother,
won't you be my lover,
and we'll see through this disguise.

The whole world is undercover,
and our life is full of lies.

The whole of life is arrayed in a web of infinite desire,
and it's only when we're ready do we give it up to the fire.

I guess that it is a part of life
that you can only see a bit of the truth at a time,
and you pick a little bit out of that,
and you call it, "Mine."

What about...?
Are you still...?
Can you feel...?
Do you dig...?

I've been feelin' like a neverendin' wheel
that's rollin' straight on through the night.
The cold world says to me, "Can you be free of being free?"

Now it seems like the sum of our dreams
is a full sky of falling snow:
You pick a little spot in the stream;
then you let it go.
