I liked your fire
Wanted to stay there for a while
Warm my hands
But the heat was an echo
A thousand tongues
A million ways undone
That spirit’s gonna run if you let it
We buried the stars
Once we knew they were not ours
But sometimes they cry at the dawning
And I still hear the sound
Of your fever going down
The cold of you turning
I don’t want that ghost
I don’t miss it the most
There’re a hundred voices that haunt me
My blood runs warm
And the blackbirds swarm
If I’m dying, then why is it so funny

This is becoming one of my all-time favorite live albums. Outstanding setlist of some of her best songs, the band on point, and just a beautiful performance. jae
