lyrics

Well, I weigh in every match with my baby
Staying in one place for a while

Harboring me for a while
Staying in one place for a while
Harboring me for a while
Staying in one place for a while
(staying in one place for a while)

Looking down at the harbor I see
(going down to the harbor I see)
And it would be ok,
and it would be ok
Looking down at the harbor I see
(going down to the harbor I see)
And it would be ok
And it would be ok
(the harbor I see)

Every night when she arrives at sleep,
She wonders how these white walls have
Stood all these years
She's looking around her room,
Coming to terms with her Instruction Manual
She was given at birth

(and she goes near,
though she's living
in her own fantasied fear)

Well, I lean into a plan with this list!
Jotting down skullcap to assist,
Perhaps beetroot or a few
Different grocery stores

Looking down at the harbor I see
(going down to the harbor I see)
And it would be ok,
and it would be ok
Looking down at the harbor I see
(going down to the harbor I see)
And it would be ok
And it would be ok
(the harbor I see)

But wait…
There’s something on the bottom
of The Instruction Manual
She forgot to check!
What could it be?
(she forgot to check, what could it be?)

But there’s something inscribed on the bottom
It’s coyotes and crows
And beaches and frogs!
And I love how all of those sound
(yes, I love how all of those sound!)
When I hear them in the night,
(Yes, I hear them in the night)

When I hear them in my head,
In my dreams,
For you,
And for me!

The Instruction Manual!

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
