Short-Wave-Hum (Stutter)

Fold the KOA map until we're shoulder to shoulder

Take the horseshoe from the embers, set it in the snow

Hook your finger in a coffee cup for a tiny little anchor

Drop the needle on the record, let it drift into the black

Standing at a spacewalk tether filtered through a short wave hum

Sliding across telephone wires that run under the chill sea

"Hello Loretta", "Darling, I knew it was you

Don't you know that your wide open spaces

And shivering places are the push pins on the map

I'm pouring over"

Hey little, fare ye well

What's with the big bottom lip?

Did your candles on the cake burn so low

That you couldn't read the salutation?

Standing on a glacial glow

Horseshoe frozen below my feet

Taking it's sweet time

Tumbling towards the ocean

You're steady losing that campfire glow

But deep in the bunkhouse there's a spark

Shoulder the receiver and breathe a barely there 'Hello'

Words slide across telephone wires

Words slide across telephone wires

Stutter under the crush of green water
