Northern Downpour (Alternate Version)

If all our life is but a dream

Fantastic posing greed

Then we should feed our jewelry to the sea

For diamonds do appear to be

Just like broken glass to me

And then she said she can't believe

Genius only comes along in storms of fabled foreign tongues

Tripping eyes and flooded lungs

Northern downpour sends its love

[Chorus 1]

Hey moon, please forget to fall down

Hey moon, don’t you go down

Sugarcane in the easy morning

Weather vanes my one and lonely

[Verse 2]

The ink is running toward the page

It’s chasing off the days

Look back at both feet and that winding knee

I missed your skin when you were east

You clicked your heels and wished for me

Through playful lips made of yarn

That fragile Capricorn

Unraveled words like moths upon old scarves

I know the world’s a broken bone

But melt your headaches call it home

[Pre-Chorus]

[Chorus 1][x2]

[Chorus 2]

Sugarcane in the easy morning

(You are at the top of my lungs)

Weather vanes my one and lonely

(Drawn to the ones who never yawn)

[Chorus 1]

[Chorus 2]

Hey moon, please forget to fall down

Hey moon, don't you go down

You are at the top of my lungs

Drawn to the ones who never yawn
