Tule by Mariee Sioux Lyrics
Even though we sleep like ferns
I still feel like I'm gone for good
And even though we sleep like ferns
I still feel like I’m gone for good
I still feel like I'm gone
And whether it's the anther, python, panther
They still breathe heart wind
Heart wind, heart wind, lumber and blood
Heart wind, heart wind, who has the guts
To spill them, spill them from way, way up
Well we’re just floating on our backs
Tea parties underwater
Summers made of salt
Swimming until we dissolve
Into the sweet eye of the storm
And we are here, we are here
Forever naked, forever waitin'
Forever loved by the water
Swing with me softly
Pull me up closely
To that neck that smells of pine tree
Smile that reminds me of shelter
Can't we cling like magnets?
Muddy dirt roads, sleet and snowfall
The time we spent up north is made of good
Made of good
Made of good
Made of good
Made of good
But there's a duck decoy of Tule
Drifting out of reach
Please wait! Please!
Weave me Tule, oh Tule
Pretending to be drowned
How long can I hold this breath?
I'm dangling my arms
Buoyant body
Becoming the greenery
Until I am here
Until I am here
Forever naked, forever waitin'
Forever loved by the water
Swing with me softly
Pull me up closely
To that neck that smells of pine trees
Smile that reminds me of shelter
Can't we cling like magnets?
Muddy dirt roads, sleet and snowfall
The time we spent up north though is made of good
Made of good
Made of good
Made of good
Made of good
And I was visited by the water snake
I was visited by the water snake
She looked me over, I was shaking
She told me in tongues of wings
In a language that sounds like the rustling of leaves
That the Lord's been, Lord’s been eating again
Go on, go on, take my heart wind
This last old wild thing that’s blowin'
With good dreams, wood beams
Good good good good good good things
And with the smoldering of love and armor
The smoldering of love and armor
And seeing the seen, being the being
Seeing the seen, being the being
Seeing the seen, being the being
I still feel like I'm gone for good
And even though we sleep like ferns
I still feel like I’m gone for good
I still feel like I'm gone
And whether it's the anther, python, panther
They still breathe heart wind
Heart wind, heart wind, lumber and blood
Heart wind, heart wind, who has the guts
To spill them, spill them from way, way up
Well we’re just floating on our backs
Tea parties underwater
Summers made of salt
Swimming until we dissolve
Into the sweet eye of the storm
And we are here, we are here
Forever naked, forever waitin'
Forever loved by the water
Swing with me softly
Pull me up closely
To that neck that smells of pine tree
Smile that reminds me of shelter
Can't we cling like magnets?
Muddy dirt roads, sleet and snowfall
The time we spent up north is made of good
Made of good
Made of good
Made of good
Made of good
But there's a duck decoy of Tule
Drifting out of reach
Please wait! Please!
Weave me Tule, oh Tule
Pretending to be drowned
How long can I hold this breath?
I'm dangling my arms
Buoyant body
Becoming the greenery
Until I am here
Until I am here
Forever naked, forever waitin'
Forever loved by the water
Swing with me softly
Pull me up closely
To that neck that smells of pine trees
Smile that reminds me of shelter
Can't we cling like magnets?
Muddy dirt roads, sleet and snowfall
The time we spent up north though is made of good
Made of good
Made of good
Made of good
Made of good
And I was visited by the water snake
I was visited by the water snake
She looked me over, I was shaking
She told me in tongues of wings
In a language that sounds like the rustling of leaves
That the Lord's been, Lord’s been eating again
Go on, go on, take my heart wind
This last old wild thing that’s blowin'
With good dreams, wood beams
Good good good good good good things
And with the smoldering of love and armor
The smoldering of love and armor
And seeing the seen, being the being
Seeing the seen, being the being
Seeing the seen, being the being
