All The Things

Flickering lamp, green flame

Distant whine of the whining trains

Petrichor morning, luminescent wave

Buried vein of gold, I'll never see your face

All the things I cannot hold I cannot save

All the things I cannot hold I cannot save

Fallen ginkgo leaf, tattered moth wing

Crushed grass, lone tumbleweed

Dark sunrise, broken pink vase

Deep electric eel, silver sand in space

All the things I cannot hold I cannot save

All the things I cannot hold I cannot save

You are everywhere, shadow in the eaves

Fleet-footed messenger of oceanic feeling

You are my medicine to soothe the lonely

My poet's bread to fuel a memory

All the things I cannot hold I cannot save

All the things I cannot hold I cannot save
