Verse melody originally written March '19
Everything else written August - October '20

lyrics

Glad that we felt the same
Sad that we felt that way
To live this seems so strange
Guess we're the leaves that change

Wistfully waste away
From August straight through May
Halcyon memories play
A bittersweet bouquet

Overcast but past the point of rain

If we were always fated for to end
Did I just waste your time, did I just hurt a friend?
I play us over in my mind again
Now if the past is all we got, well, here's to then

I'm grateful for the time
Harvested from the vine
Makes for a sparkling wine
To past stained lips consign

Hands we'd hold now fold like poetry
Hope to find my mind as peacefully

If we were always fated for to end
Did I just waste your time, did I just hurt a friend?
I play us over in my mind again
No longer what we are, but I love what we'd been
That's half the story probably less, even
Now that the future's all we got, well, here's to then

A rusted rose grown old
Still catches light like gold
Your pigment stained charcoal
Page turned, but with a fold

A rusted rose grown old
(Now Autumn's breeze has come)
Still catches light like gold
(Its changes just begun)
Your pigment stained charcoal
(Resolve to feel the sun)
Page turned, but with a fold
(September's requiem)

Strong but slow our broken limbs will grow
Braced by storms we'd borne for warmth of snow

If we were always fated for to end
Did I just waste your time, did I just hurt a friend?
I play us over in my mind again
No longer what we are, but I love what we'd been
That's half the story probably less, even
Now that the future's all we got, well, here's to then
Here's to then
Here's to then

Plumes Boston, Massachusetts

Plumes is Ben Long (on the drums!) Tim Green and John Thorsen. Music- listening to it, learning to play it, writing more of it- has been one of few things we've taken really seriously for the last 7 years. These songs grew through many late nights and missed appointments. Our songs are all really about something. It's sincere and sometimes naked. Hope you like it ... more
