lyrics

The porch light’s on for you
I can almost hear you cough
There was little we could do
To keep the wheels from falling off

The bricks hold echos here
They house an orchestra of crickets
Short of breath, let down
Holed up, held up in the wickets

You remember when you lived here
The pattering of feet
It’s Christmas in Virginia
In the afterworld it’s Halloween

You dropped a button in the plate
To have a place on New Year’s Eve
You drove right through the gates
And now you whistle through the trees

Floating through the chapel
There’s no good place to land
Are you still somewhere around here?
Do you still know who I am?

You remember when you lived here
The raindrops on the street
It’s Christmas in Virginia
In the afterworld it’s Halloween

Teething Veils image

Teething Veils Washington, D.C.

"These songs—sepia-toned yet searching, eccentric yet melodically inclined—add up to something that feels like its own universe, sometimes wistful, sometimes the kind of menacing only achieved via a late-career Tom Waits death rattle." -Wash CP
