lyrics

Frost so think when you touch the fence post
Write your name with a nail
Water strider skating in the bucket
Left out overnight while you slept wrapped in a sail

All along this beach in winter
Before you retracted your hand
Tapped me on the shoulder with all the force
Of a mist on sand

I dreamed of buttons from the coats of sailors
Sleeping on the bottom drowned
With the names their mothers gave them
On necklaces spelled in shells

Came a storm to slaughter all the seed pods
Carry new life where it could not reach
I turned around I did not see you
As you spoke to me on this winter beach
