Monastery

from San Fidel by Quiet Takes

/

lyrics

Forgone, begun
Before all of my days are done
Hold fire, plead choir
Before all of the haze was sunned

I didn’t mean to be so monastery
I’ve been keening like a missionary

When every wild grown cherry
Could wind its way to true
I’ll write them, too
I’ll carry it through

Hard line, Inclined
Below the balconies left to climb
Charred pine, enshrine
All of the memories left are mine
(all mine, all mine, all mine)

I didn’t mean to be so ordinary
I’ve been weaning off the cometary
When every February
could find its faith withdrew
I write for you
I’ll carry it through

I didn’t mean to be so mercenary
I’ve been bleeding for a sanctuary
When every tributary
just bends me back to you
I’ll write it new
I’ll carry it through
I’ll carry it through
