Comes in a cardboard jewel case that accidentally looks like a horror movie. It'll also have a nice little lyric sheet in there, and we'll probably just throw the stamp and shipping label right on it, so each one will be custom. If you pay more than $10, we'll send you one that's got a glow in the dark cd, which I think is pretty neat.

lyrics

Been so dry these last couple days
I thought it'd never rain again,
I guess I shoulda seen it comin.
I went down through the forest
when you weren't where you said that we should meet.
to the place I knew you'd been.
I saw smoke, and I thought,
That I had finally found you,
Till I saw red up in the leaves.

And Oh, The flames were rising,
And oh, the sky was swallowed.
I grabbed what I could find,
So that I'd have the time,
To bring the lake up to the land.

When you swum in that sea of orange,
No ocean could be blue enough,
To ever claim the heat.
And as you rush between
the fire and the water,
You find the rhythm's got a beauty.
As those last lashes of light
lick and lap at leaf and limb,
There lingers longing for this life

where Oh, The flames are rising,
And oh, the sky is swallowed.
you've grabbed what you could find,
So that you'll have the time,
To bring the lake up to the land.

You went down through the forest,
When I wasn't where you said we should meet,
To the place you knew I'd knew you'd been.
You saw smoke, and you ran,
But all you found in the clearing,
Was the lake up on the land.
And though I'm gone from you
I've found a new love in the flame,
You call my name I'll fight again

Cause when, The flames are rising,
And when the sky is swallowed.
You just cry "Hester!"
and I'll be there right on time,
To bring the lake up on the land.

All of Pat the Bunny's music is worth checking out. I have a lot of memories tied to these songs. He's an incredibly talented artist and hugely inspiring. Listen to his older music too! stevenrf7

Sometimes you just need acoustic folk music about being a really messed up little goblin in the modern world. wdboldstar
