about

The drawing associated with the track is part of a lyrical coloring book, included in the physical packaging for the album. Dan Grissom did the letter press and silk screening work, and Alexa drew the illustrations in the book.

lyrics

You gave me something I could hold,
a golden thread
I wove it oceans and miles,
across our bed

My heart was a liar,
My heart traveled far in dreams,
my heart was in my head

the path o’er the mountains
the path o’er the waters
we parted as the spring

you’re an elephant,
you remember
I’m a blackbird on the wing

love when planted does not die
even when uprooted
makes its way up to the sky
when a certain wind blows,
silver clouds serve to remind

I found your old boots,
I found your mother’s ring
when I return I’ll mail them both
far away

I hope Nina treats you right
that Copenhagen’s kind
that you sleep sound every night

In every silence there’s a song
every time I hear that silence
I sing

You’re an elephant
you remember
I’m a blackbird on the wing
