LYRICS:
there’s a glow on the ripples coming downstream
the yard is a kingdom, secret to me
i don’t want anyone else to see
down in the grass watching ants from my knees
or up in the branches of the mulberry tree
i don’t want anyone following me
sundays we spend with our feet in the water
watching the sunfish flash over the stones
later at dinner I sit like a soldier
hiding inside when I’m home
out just beyond where their voices can reach
thrown from the house meant to catch up to me
but i’m drifting to sleep on a blanket of leaves
and all i can hear is the wind in the trees
sundays we spend with our feet in the water
watching the sunfish flash over the stones
later at dinner I sit like a soldier
hiding inside when I’m home
hiding inside when I’m home
there’s a glow on the ripples coming downstream
the yard is a kingdom, secret to me
i don’t want anyone else to see
down in the grass watching ants from my knees
or up in the branches of the mulberry tree
i don’t want anyone following me
sundays we spend with our feet in the water
watching the sunfish flash over the stones
later at dinner I sit like a soldier
hiding inside when I’m home
out just beyond where their voices can reach
thrown from the house meant to catch up to me
but i’m drifting to sleep on a blanket of leaves
and all i can hear is the wind in the trees
sundays we spend with our feet in the water
watching the sunfish flash over the stones
later at dinner I sit like a soldier
hiding inside when I’m home
hiding inside when I’m home

about
Jenny Owen Youngs Maine
Avalanche, Youngs’ exceptional debut for Yep Roc records, offers up an achingly beautiful exploration of loss, resilience, and growth from an artist who’s experienced more than her fair share of each in recent years. The songs are deceptively serene, layering Youngs’ infectious pop sensibilities atop lush, dreamy arrangements that often belie the swift emotional currents lurking underneath. ... more
