Lifelong Fling by Over the Rhine

Thursday, July 2nd, 2009

The moon blind-sided the sky again As we grabbed loose ends of the tide and then The slippery slide You know I can’t say when I ever took a ride that could slap me this silly With roiling joy Lazy as sin Lyin’ up in heaven with my special friend And the space he’s in [...]

Latter Days by Over the Rhine

Thursday, July 2nd, 2009

All I Need Is Everything by Over the Rhine

Thursday, July 2nd, 2009

Slow down. Hold still. It’s not as if it’s a matter of will. Someone’s circling. Someone’s moving a little lower than the angels. And it’s got nothing to do with me. The wind blows through the trees, but if I look for it, it won’t come. I tense up. My mind goes numb. There’s nothing [...]
