FOR THE FIRST TIME

from FAITHFUL AND VIRTUOUS NIGHT [LP] by Kohaku Rivver

/

lyrics

you are in the crowd
above us, hidden by the city
the stars are still shining
the stars are always shining.

but here we have made our own stars
sitting in apartment windows
they wait for us, they wait for us.

"love is hard" she says
I say good it can make me strong
you can make me strong
you walking towards the streetlight
refusing to be afraid, of meeting me here
again, or looking into my eyes
for the first time.

I think of you as I walk down the river
how long this earth has waited to hold me
you are somewhere within this, whirling
round the setting sun with me
in my head, in my heart, every part

like my mother's father,
this is the curse of eternal life
we all must choose who to spend with it
those who stay in our arms, or
memories that don't exist.

my mother said love is pain
then i say murder me with it
don't let me feel again
this fear we can't begin
to learn to fall in love again.
