lyrics

Studying a piece of a clock
It reminds me that the hands
Are controlled by
A mechanism that I’m not familiar with
But, sometimes…
I think I could learn about it
If I practice patience and time signatures
Yes, just signing the word
Time on a piece of paper
On a line that I made myself
Something linear

Yes! If I just buckled down and
Create a clock!
Yes, that will solve all my
Periodical pauses, you know
When you wait a little, just to make sure.
Perhaps i’ll be sure if I had a clock
That I built myself!
Those mechanisms I,
I really want to know about

If ever I fall
away with you
With you,
If ever I fall
away with you

Now listen, I get it.. it’s strange
Because I,
I found my love
Within this mechanism
That I don’t understand well
But it, It measures time well
And understands well
The passing of time
(And if you can control it)
(well)
Then maybe we can finally control ourselves
And our lives

(If ever I fall away with you)

Don’t you ever wonder about clepsydras?
Water resistant and grandfather clocks
And the color of digital alarms
And hands ticking laterally,
Overlapping, hugging
Always right behind
Or forward, or together
(Neon red, green, sepia)

If ever I fall
away with you
If ever I fall
away with you
If ever I fall
away with you
If ever I fall
away with you

This is the singer-songwriter companion to October's instrumental Bloodletting, played on the banjo, and contains an intimacy and intent that's drawn me to Wendy's music — to unravel and tangle an idea until it takes form. https://www.vikingschoice.org/archive/vikings-choice-to-bandcamp-friday-nov-2021/ Lars Gotrich
