Have you ever seen someone with dreamcatchers for teeth
Islands in their eyes and fire in their speech
Hair grown like the willow tree and water runnin in their name
and so how could you blame
a river born is water that was meant to move
how could I catch water that ran through my youth
Everyday I wonder what you turned into and what you became
Are you the very same
Are you the very same
Brook who told me im the one who’s leavin
I was in the kitchen and my heart was bleedin
Oh i never knew if it was ok to feel it
Oh, I suppose I should know
The past is void and all the future’s too
and neither will make sense just as they never do
Julie called me up and when she asked me if I heard the news
I knew that it was true
I knew that it was true
when Brook told me Drew’s the one youre leavin
i was in the kitchen and my heart was bleedin
oh i never knew if it was okay to feel it
oh, I suppose, I should know
the loudest prayers are silent in the way they move
the greatest secrets ever found are in my youth
we’re all just a couple kids with dreamcatchers for teeth
islands in our eyes and fire in our speech
tryin to find some freedom from the troubled streams of form
Thats why i feel it all
Thats why i feel it all
When I told brook youre the one I needed
i was in the kitchen while my heart was bleedin
Oh I never knew if it was okay to feel it
oh, i should know
I should know you leave, you turn me to see my
body’s just a monument the spirit bleeds in
Drawn in like the river, drawn in like the brook and
oh, I should know, I should know
You’re never comin back
Youre never comin back
Youre never comin back
Youre never comin back

My best friend introduced me to HGM a year or so ago. Since then, they’ve pretty much been the soundtrack to my life. Seen them live twice, listened to M.C. Taylor’s discography back to the Court & Spark days, return to them time and time again. Thank you for gifting the world with your soul, spirit, and music. modus_operandu

I'm obsessed with this song. I'll admit, I found this song on Laughingsquid.com where they posted the AirBnB commercial this song was used in. I have listened to it an average of five times a day in the past week and a half. I played it on my radio show last Monday night. Love this heartbreaking tale. johnhell
