sky silver and gold or so i have been told
but we don’t have the time to spend
picture frames are breaking, clocktower light shaking
fallen time and time again
just sitting next to you was all i wanted to do
staring at the sun ’til i see it when it’s gone
would you feel it if i held your arm
flower in your hand, born again through fire and sand
when the bulb burns out the glass stays warm
just getting old with you was all i wanted to do
saying goodbye to you is something i can never do
but i can’t hold you down, if you wanna go
how can i say no
watch the garden rose
as it blooms and grows
from your window throne
sinking like a stone
letters saved for when we meet
tell me all that you have seen
mirror over your mouth
what do you dream about
quiet apartment / thinking you’ll be home soon
and pounding head / making one out of two
hair on the carpet / physical form of you
living above the earth and moon
i’ll wear your ashes / carry a part of you
around my neck / my arm for your tattoo
healing old scratches / are not the end of you
a flower grows july through june
and when you see it / how much is waiting for you
beyond the stairs / as sure as stars above you
tenderly freeing / i will always love you
you’ll always be my baby blue
What a great album. It took me a while to really get the whole album but I can confidently say it's one of her best. The shorter songs are certainly a different feel, but I still like it. I could pick like five different songs as my favorite and all of them would feel right lol praisedrays
Alvvays has always been great, but with this album they took it to the next level. Every one of these songs is lodged in my brain now, permanently (in a good way). s. moxley
