Erik Sanden's birthday: day of the dead children.

lyrics

Nov. 1 (Sanden)

I make an altar to my dead
and I sit longing but I’m not giving up yet
all these friends have gone
so I’m partially cracked
and hapless, oh lord

if I ask you
I ask you
I’m begging you
to please show me how to make sense
of the way that you love

out by the entrance a photo of Tom Smith
on the pool’s edge ready to drop in
are you so lonely so that you can’t really give?
but darling you gave, I know

I ask you
I ask you
I’m begging you
to please show me how it would feel

there’s so much more than this
how the night and the half-light flows
the day recedes but you won’t
the old heart begins
the old heart begins
the old heart begins
waking, shaking with love!
with a new love
grown out of the half-light of us!
