lyrics

Here on the ridge by the great divide
We squint from the sun and the sweat in our eyes
And I've got a song in the palm of my hand
With smooth little stones from the riverbed

And oh how the days grow long here
And oh how the rest of the world disappears
I'll keep my feet planted firm on the ground
Looking down like a mountaineer

The southern cross that sits in the sky
Tells you to pray when you're dreaming at night
And your name's in a bag that you hang on your shoulder
Til you lay it all down and leave it forever

And oh how the days grow long here
And oh how the rest of the world disappears
I'll keep my feet planted firm on the ground
Looking down like a mountaineer

We've given up being good
We only want a different point of view
We've given up being good
We only want a different point of view

We'll camp in the place where the highway won't find us
Then sway with the earth gently waltzing beneath us
Believe it or not, it's the closest we've come
To the beautiful places we wish we came from

Halfsies

From first to final track, Halfsies is an album that defies definition. And by that I mean there is not a single genre box that could possibly contain this glorious music. So listen, closely, again and again. Each time I do, I fall more deeply in love with Lizzie No’s masterpiece. krisbelsito
