Above the Vines - Glasswort

Here is a recent practice version of this song.

Here are the lyrics.
white stones
some kind of rubble piled over there
a river washed out a bridge
back in the day
when you weren’t here

among the ruins
fertile soil for your fingernails
every kind of seed
will grow for you

farm skin
not as dark as the soil
that’s as dark as your hair
you mostly keep to this down
city dreams are off somewhere
where school friends
glided to when you said good bye
in their cubicles
no one can see them cry

platform good byes
museum cafe smiles
liquid crystal skies

two winter melons
fit on your scooter back to town
a good day’s harvest
for grandma’s soup
on these trellises
hang a bounty that provides
a simple thing
don’t have to - there is no why

and they speed by
never surprised
above the vines
across your eyes

platform good byes
museum cafe smiles
liquid crystal skies

and they speed by
never surprised
above the vines
across your eyes
