lyrics

photos of the senior prom
When we were all together
when we all thought
that we would live forever
Life has changed so much that I forgot to call you when I
Fell in love
And had a child
And thought we’d live forever

Got a job
And bought a house
And promised I’d be better

Why did I move out of town?
I miss the smell of puget sound
Before the gravensteins fall to the ground
Is anyone home?
Did anyone stay home?


You only held my hand
We talked about the weather
But you were there when the Nisqually shook the river
When the planes fell from the sky and hit the towers

You were there
Beneath the desks
We thought we’d die together
And as we lay you down to rest
I think about the letter.


Blue blotted ink on those college-ruled sheets
Where you wrote everything down you couldn’t say to me.
In ‘23
There is a photo I’ll see
Where your handwriting never looked so dear to me!
And I could never look you square in the eye because
Those blue crypts and furrows are what I’ll see when I die, when I die, when I die
When I die at least I’ll know that it’s my time to be free,
To stand on the ridge, look out, and count every tree I came to know, every projectile seed they’ve sown,
As my friend, as my mom, as my husband, as my own.
As the clearest window we all have into the great unknown.
Just look out!

For artists like Kaley Lane Eaton who paint outside the lines, there are seemingly endless boxes to check, but few name-brand comparisons. Joni Mitchell, Björk, Kate Bush, Laurie Anderson. Eaton’s “disconcertingly lovely” (Seattle Weekly) compositions are “unconfined by genres” (V13 Media). ... more
