La Dispute Lyrics

We will kneel down in the reeds beside the water We will float two paper boats down slowly in The river spiderwebs the map like breaking glass like here might shatter Send us scattering like seeds into the wind From the cattails bursting, slamming on our skin As we chase our vessels racing toward the lake, I start to shake When you wade down ankles bare now to go swim And this is what I do now every day Travel back and forwards either way There's a village for us somewhere Northern Michigan With a dirt road leading to a covered bridge Where earlier we'd scurried off to check the cart the horse had drawn For fuses and more powder for the Fourth And in the nighttime when the first of them is lit We will sneak back there in darkness just to kiss And I'll panic at your image as the flashes split the rafter gaps Terrified you'll see my open eyelids And this is what I do now every night Try to somehow catch you in the light When summer goes the leaves...
