lyrics

Sing me to sleep, the crickets and their prey, morning smells like cigarettes and coffee, as you come into frame. Clumsily the wind pulls at your chimes, stumbles by your towels on your line, conversation picks up just outside, I mostly sit and listen 'cause I'm shy.

Do you recall the wasp that drowned, swimming in your drink?

Everything seems so small, maybe I just fill more space, I wanna stay with you and watch the water, swallow up the rain. Clumsily the wind pulls at your chimes, stumbles by your flowers in a line, conversation picks up just outside, I mostly sit and listen 'cause I'm shy.

Do you recall the wasp that drowned, swimming in your drink?

We watched them swim across the lake, it took them half the day, when they finally reached the land, we sat with them all afternoon in the sand. Clumsily the wind pulls at my chimes, stumbles by the fire and trailer lights, conversation picks up right inside, I mostly sit and listen cause I'm shy.

Do you recall the wasp that drowned, swimming in your drink?

Virtual Heaven
by Infinity Crush

Just found this by chance in the "if you like David Stone... section" - It's a beautifully warm record, clean and smooth, but without being polished to a shine. Perfect walking-in-Autumn record. David Stone
