Felt so holy as the candle burned down to the bar.
                                                  *
And she filled me like her voice filled the room.
                                                  
Well my feet got sorta heavy, and my tongue turned to lead.
                                       *
She was gone before I drank confident.

                   
But Georgia, can you hear me?
                                   *
I\'ve been crawling through the trees.
                              
Through the pines, through the pines.
                                     
Won\'t you whisper, that you remember me.

                                             
Well I searched under rocks for the bird who flew away.
                                                *
If I caught her, I don\'t know what I would say.
                                                        
Cause love don\'t haunt the tavern it\'s not drunk on the balcony.
                                          *
It don\'t spill out at 2AM into the street.

                   
But Georgia, can you hear me?
                                   *
I\'ve been crawling through the trees.
                              
Through the pines, through the pines.
                                     
Won\'t you whisper, that you remember me.

        
I was a leash with no dog like a track with no train
       
Well I hung by my hood let the wind have its way
                                            
I was lifeless, useless, as a corpse with no grave.
      
An ascetic, with no pillar or pain
        
I was a, a shedded hair on a dead mare\'s mane
                                                   
And from her fingers I dangled and danced along the stage.
       
Well I caught her when I was taut in the yarn
      
And I yanked with all the strength in my arm
                                            
And she tumbled from the rafters and fell to me
So hard, to my arms.

                   *
But Georgia, can you hear me?
                               *
I\'ve been calling across the sea.
                             *
Through the waves to your breakwater.
                                   
Won\'t you whisper that you remember me.

                                        
When they seal you in oak throw dirt on your face
                                         *
May a soft bark sapling sprout from thee.
                                            
May your bones turn to wool. May your heart be a nest.
                                     
And warm the world the way you warmed me.

enjoy!
