Hard Moon Crash

From the album World Famous in Chapel Hill

It took a thousand daily doses of daisies
To get this far
How’s a mountain sound they said
Mum’s the word on disastrous, dangerous, understated heights

From night to day in the blink of an eye
Safe to deep in the thick of it
I’ve never seen a faster sunrise
Blinded by cold hindsight

In an iceless freeze
All the pinholes burn bright

So far the flowers are furthest away
I’m even nostalgic for diesel
I never knew everything I needed could be so simple
So hard to breathe, or hold in your fingers

In an iceless freeze
All the pinholes burn bright

And all the windows turn to night
Every fall or spill or broken toe on trails
Seems like brighter days

In an iceless freeze
All the pinholes burn bright
