Yeasayer: "Red Cave"

I went out past the willow and the well
caught my breath upon the hill
at the edge of the domain and I went down
and further down
and when I got up,
I'm at the red cave

and with that sound
as if I had been put under a spell
she led me to her abode
despite a winter's day

Mary's house in the hollow of the
white hazel rapid whirlpool
and the church of red cave

I'm so blessed to have spent that time
with my family and the friends
I love with my short life I have met
so many people I deeply care for
[repeat]

...
so this is what we do with a
sentimental heart... someone should let
zooey deschanel and m. ward in on
this gem of wisdom.

i am most definitely blessed to have
spent all the time with my family and
amazing friends, and especially the many
random people i have met and shared brief
moments in strange times and distant places with.

like the boy from australia that i met
on the bus on the way home from nyc
on that very cold and windy day and ended
up actually going out with later that week.

or the boy i met at the bus stop in denver
with nowhere to sit and nowhere to find solace
from the hot, hot sun or dust blowing on
my face from the bustling interstate
just a stone's throw away.

or neverending boy, that i am still
reminded of by random glimpses of my freelurving
favorite, "dreams", and other otherwise
insignificant details of my travels.

great great car song. repeated many times
in mine. makes you want to go places,
but reminds you of the people that really
matter most in your life. being somewhat of
a gypsy, i know home is where the heart is,
but these chance meetings are one of
the main things that keep me moving.
