This Light

from Frightened Man EP by White Oak

lyrics

Fire trucks sweat on the 4th of July
The parade rolls over, bowls on by
The bees in the trees and the scrapes on our knees
are all that shine in this light

Take in the ivy through the leaded glass
the fading light as all the trees go black
the deepening dark, like the death of a spark
my reflection just staring back

Hallelujah come the top of the hour
Your marigolds in a sumer sun shower
the wind in the wheat and the grass on your feet
is all that shines in this light

Close the stove to make the coals go red
close your ears to hear the rain on your head
scour the hours of these radiant showers
each drop blazing bright
