lyrics

Oh Good Morning!

Oh good morning
You feel lovely on my hands
Brown and weathered deep
Like ridges in the sand

We buried all the shame
Declared it valueless
Don’t dig it up
Don’t dig it up
Just let it rest

Oh Black Cedars
Hiding feathered
Eyes for seasons
Feet like leather
Drop your bodies
From high places
Catch the updraft
Watch their faces

The railroad tracks are overrun with lilies
They’re reaching out like veins through crumbling cities
The intersection where we danced in circles
Sprung water clean through the middle now there’s turtles

Oh Black Cedars
Hiding feathered
Eyes for reasons
Feet like leather
Drop your bodies
From high places
Catch the updraft
Watch their faces

Waawaashkesh wade through the grasses by the bank
Their fortunes turned to paper when their dollars tanked
Oh swim with me
Oh swim!
The water’s nice and warm

The river’s shouting out
She broke through the lake shore
She broke through the Lakeshore!

Oh come home!
Come back home to me

Oh come home!
Come back home with me

Oh come home!
Oh come home to me
Home to me

(Waawaashkesh - deer)
