Song Lyrics:
Slow Fire
Rivers run up the mountains.
Roots get washed out by the dried-up shore.
And the little boy is begging himself to remember.
To bring back whatever he's taken away.
The morning arises somewhere between my childhood and my home.
Red bill-berry bushes have rooted amongst the memories.
My whole life's footprints across the dirt road.
Oh so dear and so very mine is the ever-present sorrow.
I am basking in front of a slow fire.
The shadows disappear, the swelter cools down.
A little lukewarm, but at peace is my heart.
The speech has calmed down,
the one that once said.
Each glacier has a sparkling beginning.
But the end is always burning.
