lyrics

1. Trees 
Words and Music by Jono Manson and Caline Welles

Trees are mostly made of air
Sometimes water, sometimes wood
Of nests and birds and flowering fruits
Until the winter finds them bare
 
Birds are mostly made of light
Sometimes feather, sometimes song
A morning tune a hollow bone
Against the sky when they’re in flight

The sky is mostly made of breath
Sometimes blue, sometimes gold
Of inhale, exhale, lover’s swoon
The rumbling thunder warmth of death

Death is mostly made of dreams
Sometimes nightmare, sometimes sweet
From which we wake, towards where we fall
Collected memory falling leaves

Leaves are mostly made of time
Sometimes dull, sometimes divine
Seasons 'round seconds swirl 
Life’s most cruel and simple crime
