[Verse 1: Julia Cumming]
I was getting lost in your quicksand
Looking around for your hand
When I noticed I'd fallen where I once stood
If I was blind, you were heartless
I feel for you in the darkness
Where I once was standing
Where I once was standing
Standing
[Chorus: Nick Kivlen]
I was a fool who lost his herd
I'm just a child who can't keep his word
I was a fool who lost his herd
I'm just a child who can't keep his word
Word
[Verse 2: Julia Cumming]
From your mouth, you were foaming
Don't wake me up in the morning
All I heard was silence
All I heard was silence
Silence
[Chorus: Nick Kivlen]
I was a fool who lost his herd
I'm just a child who can't keep his word
I was a fool who lost his herd
I'm just a child who can't keep his word
I was a fool who lost his herd
I'm just a child who can't keep his word
I was a fool who lost his herd
I'm just a child who can't keep his word
Word
Keep his word
Word
[Outro: Julia Cumming, Nick Kevlin]
All I heard was silence
All I heard was silence
All I heard was silence
Ohhohhohhohhohhohhohh
(Ohhhhhh ohhhhh)
Ohhohh ohhohhohhohh
Ohhohh
Ohhohhohhohhohhwhoa
Ohhohhohhohhhh
I was a fool who lost his herd
Ohhohhohhohhohhohh
I'm just a child who can't keep his word
All I heard was silence
I was a fool who lost his herd
Ohhohhohhohhohhohh
I'm just a child who can't keep his
All I heard was silence

We wrote this song very quickly while jamming together in our practice space. Nick and Julia both improvised vocals and lyrics that came together as a cohesive counter point to each other in a special moment of serendipity. This song has a melancholy grove accentuated by the four on the floor dance...
