Charlie

Charlie...
Buddy...

Charlie do you feel a slow burn
All along the wide old horizon?
Bring me that lantern, buddy

Everything is melting
And we could only paddle so long Charlie
Bring me some good news buddy
Yeah come now Charlie

Oh you're in a lake of lost hours
Charlie in a big lake, swim Charlie!
And I'll be in my life-boat waiting, buddy
How the sun will bake our bones dry
I can feel it coming closer, closer
Bring me that lantern buddy, yeah come now
Charlie...

I will not let myself be carried home
I will remain in that garden where I was grown
Water in my roots, snow beneath my shooots
I would not let myself be carried home

If I own my uncertainty, I'll float
With a call to the Great Upwelling, go
And I've got water in my roots, buddy
Snow beneath my shoes
I won't let myself be carried home!

Charlie I'm not a liar, don't you narrow your eyes
No won't you come a bit closer I am leaving now
I'm not a liar Charlie, don't you narrow your eyes
Charlie

I mean it now I'm sick of all the resolutions
Nothing fixes itself buddy
Look what we've done
Lift all the soil in your body up to the sun!
Charlie
