about

Of course we'd talked about it from time to time over the years...who doesn't? But we never thought we'd have a kid. There was what some would consider a "scare" in February. We were disappointed when she wasn't. That was a surprising emotion. In March, on my 34th birthday, she woke me up early, positive test in hand. Wow...the best birthday present. I wrote Zygote that month.

lyrics

There’s a stone over everything we knew
Can you tell me if the ground holds any truth?
Do the clouds begin to clear,
When you whisper in my ear?
Hold me near before my fear begins to brew

Was it you when my flaws began to grow
Who showed me what I did and did not know?
How mistakes are firmly laid
Like the ground beneath the spade
And the pain has no reason left to flow

Lay my heart in the middle of the road
Drop a coal on the ice in my soul
Oh, the steam is gonna rise
When I lay between your thighs
Multiply my love and set it in your bones

There’s a light from a slowly burning fuse
Did you see it lighting up our room?
It’s a tiny little flame
That exposes everything
And it hides like a secret inside you

Lay me down in the twilight
Lay me down in the twilight
Lay me down in the twilight
Let this mystery carry me away
