about

A strange offering, this one.

I wanted to try something simple and dramatic with a couple of acoustic guitars and a piano. As I was recording the music, the idea of a ‘reptile boy’ appeared, becoming the seed for an ambiguous lyric, a lyric that seems somehow just at the edge of my reach; I like the uneasy atmosphere of this one..

This changing weather
Gets me down
This changing weather
It seals the town
I should have told you why, my friend

When you were washed
Clean of your sin
Did you think of me?
When you were crushed
Like a cold tear-stain
Did you lose control?

This changing weather
These pools of joy
We change together
The Reptile Boy
Is feasting on the scraps you gave
Is feasting on the scraps you gave

When you were washed
Clean of your sin
Did you think of me?
When you were crushed
Like a cold tear-stain
Did you lose control?

This changing weather
Too much for me
This changing weather
Too much for me
I should have told you why, my friend
I should have told you why, my friend

The changing weather
A lack of joy
Beg and borrow
For the Reptile Boy
