lyrics

I trust my body when it tells me
That the work can wait till tomorrow.
Let the worries in my mind turn swift into sparrows,
Find their rest among the pines again.

Like the winds that had raised me and carried me here,
I could drift for miles understanding nothing
But the freedom song of the grasses
As they whisper for no witnesses:

Stay close to me.
Stay close to me.

Oh, I could never tire
Of the color green
When the sun weaves down through the canopy
And shines a little light on all of my uncertainties.
Bless them with forgiveness.

Stay close to me.

Love is a hummingbird in flight.
It is the burst of color before the night.
And as I find my way among life’s mysteries,
May I keep this love close to me.

Stay close to me.
Stay close to me.

I think it's difficult to write songs about something other than romantic love, and still be able to communicate the intensity with which those feelings can hit a person. Some of the entries on this album are fantastic examples of this niche. dani_bloop

Alvvays has always been great, but with this album they took it to the next level. Every one of these songs is lodged in my brain now, permanently (in a good way). s. moxley
