about

I wrote this last September. Fall is usually my season for longing. I recorded this in February. The longing lingered. You can hear my cat, Selkie, meowing her version of longing in the beginning of the recording if you listen close.

lyrics

O Sweet Longing, yes I know you’re here
O Sweet Longing, how I wish you’d disappear

But you won’t ever leave my side
No you won't ever leave my side

O Sweet Longing, trial by fire tonight
O Sweet Longing, make me swallow my pride

And the hallow place is where I must make my home
With the thorns and tides, where the wildness lives, go I
Where the air is still and my mind wields fang and claw

Longing sticks like ligaments on bones
Longing you reveal just like a poem
You tear at me, disturb all that is known
