Jordaan Mason - Another War lyrics

Artist: Jordaan Mason

album: Earth to Ursa Major


We returned home
You with a raincoat
Me a permanent cough
Put less and less clothes on
Could not decide whether or not
We wanted to walk
To the ends of the Earth
Or if perhaps we'd rather rest
In our own backyard dirt
Our neighbour gave us cherries after
Every full moon
I sat and sucked the pits as you
Sharpened your harpoon
You sang a sudden
Soliloquy of sorrow
"Must I arm myself
With this weapon again tomorrow?"
The weather station blared that another war
Would be coming
Some scattered clouds
A little sun and then it would be storming
I tried to plan our escape
While you went off to fight
Gathered what I could
Some tenderness, some twine
I set to task, quilting a patchwork of memories
A swath of cloth, a fold untold a riot of reverie
It came in bursts
I kept what worked
At least I was occupied
You fought the fight
Then every night
I held you while you cried
While you cried
