lyrics

I’m weary, my friend
And I long to be once again
Your dark cedar
Your field of sweet grass

So long since you breathed
Deeply of this damp earth
Pressed into it
With a hunger

Instead you walk slowly
A witness returning
To the scene of the crime
Carefully stepping
Over this dead body
This stain of blood

I want to cut away
The yellow tape
And run so far
So far from here
Away from the still life
Away from the still life

I’m weary, my friend
And I need so to be strong
My body wants peace
Oh but the war rages on

--
Erin – vocal and guitar
Fort Worden Theater, Port Townsend
