the lakes (bonus track)

[00:00.19] •••

[00:22.09] Is it romantic how all my elegies

[00:29.59] Eulogize me?

[00:32.86] I'm not cut out for all these cynical clones

[00:39.85] These hunters with cell phones

[00:43.59] Take me to the Lakes, where all the poets went to die

[00:47.08] I don't belong

[00:49.09] And, my beloved, neither do you

[00:53.99] Those Windermere peaks look like a perfect place to cry

[00:57.71] I'm setting off

[00:59.97] But not without my muse

[01:04.76] What should be over

[01:07.97] Burrowed under my skin

[01:11.97] In heart-stopping waves of hurt

[01:15.62] I've come too far to watch some name-dropping sleaze

[01:22.10] Tell me what are my Wordsworth

[01:26.13] Take me to the Lakes, where all the poets went to die

[01:29.77] I don't belong

[01:31.76] And, my beloved, neither do you

[01:36.49] Those Windermere peaks look like a perfect place to cry

[01:40.50] I'm setting off

[01:42.73] But not without my muse

[01:46.75] I want auroras and sad prose

[01:52.25] I want to watch wisteria grow right over my bare feet

[02:00.01] 'Cause I haven't moved in years

[02:05.66] And I want you right here

[02:09.11] A red rose grew up out of ice frozen ground

[02:15.90] With no one around to tweet it

[02:19.25] While I bathe in cliffside pools

[02:23.28] With my calamitous love and insurmountable grief

[02:30.19] Take me to the Lakes, where all the poets went to die

[02:33.71] I don't belong

[02:35.68] And, my beloved, neither do you

[02:40.59] Those Windermere peaks look like a perfect place to cry

[02:44.43] I'm setting off

[02:46.52] But not without my muse

[02:49.56] No, not without you
