From the recording If Not Now When?
Lyrics
~ASTORIA~
astoria sea shells & starfish wind & waves your hair & white teeth clay & bones astoria where the earth meets water astoria touching the depths that shine
we painted one color we stroked one brush we held fast to the candles but candles don’t last i showed you the places that you’ve never seen you showed me the spaces in your heart
astoria sea lions bark & sea gulls cry sailors dreams & mermaids song astoria move on the water roll through the night astoria touching the depths that shine
we shared our stories we sang the same song we danced on the pine in the dark soft moans of the floor whisper close & slow dancing so close to avoid the parting
astoria sea sand & pines dune grass ripples your smell is so sweet your taste so salty astoria ebb & flow cool tide waters my heart longs for astoria lying in the grass
we said our good bye’s though
we did not go we painted one another in to a corner of the heart breaking waves of regret guilt sin in the sand maybe the sin is not to love well the sin is not to love well
