about

Hexagram 2: K'un ('Field / Yielding'). "... a n enduring power to yield and serve."

lyrics

It's always harder in the winter
to keep your head above water
we'll never get this land back the way that it was
and I've always been a dull and facile daughter

Crows are cheap, you find them everywhere
I said I would abide it so I will
things we should have grown out of by now
I was too grateful, too grateful
it turned away

Now I've got all this love
for all the bright and difficult suns (sons)
of this planet
keeping alive this planet

I heard someone singing someone singing
I said I would abide so I did
things we should have grown out of by now
it was too raw, too unbroken, and it burned away

I'll stand here and listen at the doorway
I said I would abide it as long as it takes
and maybe could have held my breath for longer
but still grateful, too damn grateful, too burned away
