lyrics

On the 22nd day of a long December
I could not get to sleep for the sound of remembering
All the years I’ve been pining, whining, crying
For a lover to help still my fear

With a mind full of horses, pounding round well worn courses

I heard hooves beat the ground, while the stars came unwound
And silver thread poured down from the sky
The pieces caught the eyes of children in their beds
And out they ran to catch it in their hands
All the children brought the strings to their hideout in the wings
Of a 1953 fighter plane
They adorned the silver wings with the hundred silver strings
And it shone like a moonbeam every night

All it takes to remember that day in December
Is a short walk underneath a pockmarked night
The wind will hunch your shoulders and time can make you colder
But a moonbeam is a time machine for eyes

My hard and lonely road with its tired groaning stones
Is thirsty for that silver-covered plane
Oh the way we used to sing, perched so proudly on the wings
Brings the North Wind to the embers in my chest
Two hundred strands of far off stars,
caught and laced through all the bars
In a clearing out behind a cut corn field
Out (of) the corner of my eye I see reflecting from on high
A hint of silver in every passing face
And when I remember the way I see it, come December
I revel in the glory and the grace

With a mind full of horses, pounding out well worn courses
It takes a season’s change to unfreeze my locked up frame

Heeding to the winds and the waves on the Bay, BrotherStranger looks into the loneliest moments of human experience with a piercing gaze that weaves them into a place of tenderness and safety. These meditations are nestled in a poetic cadence that resists modern cynicism and fragmentation while harkening to a place in our hearts and our heritage that recognizes the sacred nature of narrative. ... more
