Track Name: The Prairie as a Sea
everything that you were
and everything that i did
wont make it through the century
or even to the next morning

when this land was a sea
at the bottom of history
now flint rock and old bones
covered up with our homes

on the wind there blows
a gentle, glorious groan
wanting to believe
that one day our bodies

will be buried with the stones
that remember everything
and even when we all die
we can be just like the sea

i was in the sea
the ground learned to float
in my past life
i was a buffalo

you were in the sea
then you felt the glow
of the sunlight
you became the soil

we were the sea
and we were the glow
you were my tall grass
i was your buffalo
Track Name: oh sara, you setting sun
a spirit travels quickly
there is no need to rest
no bones to grow weary
no lungs to lose breath

and i do not know you
for you are a ghost
and i can feel your foot steps
coming through the snow

you were my lover
just ten years ago
i was not clever
and your heart grew cold

you went away to the ocean
to live among the breeze
and with that breeze you fell in
fell into the sea

but you are not the only one
the sun drowns itself every day
but like you will be living again
just never in the same way

oh sara, you took time away
oh sara, you setting sun
oh sara, save a seat for me
there isn't room for everyone

oh sara, you took time apart
oh sara, you setting sun
oh sara, save a seat for me
there is a road for everyone
Track Name: seed song
watch me blow
over the rolling dirt
the wild swims
the seeds they float

past the eyes
of every buffalo bone
please look away and decompose

in case we forget
turn the land into stone
a monument built from your marrow

and if i settle
please put me in the ground
if i come back up, just pull me out
