Ezra Glenn - Cotton

Take your time waking up
Not the way it always was
Better hurry, daylight's burning
Tread it out through the trees
Emerald foliage in weave
Granddad's chainsaw, mourning dove song
Hard-working man raised a family
Strong younger brother talking with me

Make a plan like I knew you would
Quiet strength is in our blood
Brotherman

Linen dreams, cotton rest
Heavy t-shirt on your chest
Know I tried to
I wouldn't lie to you
But those eyes see me through
The same way they always do
I have no choice hearing your voice
Hardwood floor in the evening
Monstera leaves all are gleaming

These keep me
Cover up my healing, heaving
Believe me, there's something I've been needing
The lilies growing on our street
When my mother was young
On this Kostra Farm road
Saw a cross burn in the churchyard
But now I drive past the spot
There's an empty parking lot
The only blazing: the sunset facing me
Still it seems something's changing
I can't say that I can place it
