Recorded this in a yurt on the Oregon Coast. have gear, will travel...

lyrics

i was wishing there was a way
for a song to mend your soul
carry you over the coals and into the rolling swells
you tell your story
it's loud in the spray of the shore
with an ear pressed to a seashell
and echoed, echoed in truth

br. as a molting crab you rid your shell
while a plant leaf drops on the sill
making room for new
bloom

you wave goodbye to the useless dirge
and the last vestige of gloom
and all you had to do was wait
until you grew a new armor
and with the grace of a butterfly
free of her cocoon
like flower petals in the sky

br. you carry a sleeping roll
down to the beach and all on your own
you lay in the sand and you sleep
and pretend its your home
your castle with many towers
a view out every window
for me and you

then you wake up and walk away
tide washes it on
as a familiar storm and you grab your pail
and go home
