lyrics
So quick to be wise
When my luck runs out, we improvise
Your heart’s on display
But I have nothing to say
Too fleeting to see
I prefer to paint it all from memory
Too restless to pose
So I begin with a ghost
The only gift I’ve left to give you
These promises may not outlive you
A little early to say
A little early to take down all the evidence
I’m no stranger to the sentiment wasted
Playing dead is no defense
No defense
Too little too late
We heard the world wake
I felt you tremble
After the earthquake
No one can tell you
Which way the bone breaks
Until it’s too late
Begin with my ghost
And bleed it ’til the curtains close
On all that awaits
I just stood there stammering at fate
Too little too late
We heard the world wake
I felt you tremble
After the earthquake
No one can tell you
Which way the bone breaks
Until it’s too late
The only gift I’ve left to give you
These promises may not outlive you
A little early to say
When my luck runs out, we improvise
Your heart’s on display
But I have nothing to say
Too fleeting to see
I prefer to paint it all from memory
Too restless to pose
So I begin with a ghost
The only gift I’ve left to give you
These promises may not outlive you
A little early to say
A little early to take down all the evidence
I’m no stranger to the sentiment wasted
Playing dead is no defense
No defense
Too little too late
We heard the world wake
I felt you tremble
After the earthquake
No one can tell you
Which way the bone breaks
Until it’s too late
Begin with my ghost
And bleed it ’til the curtains close
On all that awaits
I just stood there stammering at fate
Too little too late
We heard the world wake
I felt you tremble
After the earthquake
No one can tell you
Which way the bone breaks
Until it’s too late
The only gift I’ve left to give you
These promises may not outlive you
A little early to say

Silver Tomb For The Kingfisher
by Jay CliffordJay Clifford is one of the greatest living songwriters and a masterful singer. Best known as frontman for the brilliant Jump, Little Children, this 2nd solo album has his genius on full display.
go to album -
A gorgeous instrumental record from the brilliant mind of Bob Boilen. Great as ambient music but filled with beautiful melodies and shifting textures for focused listening, which I highly suggest.
