Dedicated to Brandon Rowley.

lyrics

Sea-swept, sitting in a delicate pond
Anchored at the gates to the end of it all
Another brush with a Summer love
Another fleeting kiss on the tip of my tongue

When I dug the dirt up
I hit a pipeline
It cost me all your trust
and blew up half the coastline

The littlest bug that I ever saw
Swam me up the length of the Indian Arm
I never jumped, but I made it far enough
to make it back with the scars
And honey, you look high in a different light
You look high in a different light
You get high off a parasite
And you wash me there
You wash me dead on site

When I dug the dirt up
I hit a pipeline
It cost me all your trust
and it blew up half the coastline
But somehow, through the ash and rain
it was contained in a magnificent glow
And now I'm left to deal with fire

Someone stop the daisy train
I think I'd like to start again
I'm but a florist
How am I to deal with fire?
Mark the herald day of coming
Dark, the damsel, long, cool, running
I'm but a florist

Maybe we we're just the same
When I wanted it to be part of the light
And now you're left to deal with fire
