Those Rusty Drums Lyrics by Black Bear (Band)

The Cinnamon Phase

2006

[Instrumental Intro]
I sing of things I see past wings
Up from the plane, and in passing
I understand expansive land
Better than I can as a grounded man
And I think of dying in the blink of an eye
And of sinking feelings from the pinkened sky
And I wonder what comes under us
And over me
In wander-lust
And I trust the thunder busting up
Those rusty drums drop just enough
And something subtly reminds me of
What it's like to fly in times of love
And it seems like a dream that is weakening
As the clouds surround like a steam machine
The significance of distance hits
In one instant I'm different
[Instrumental]
And down to Earth I birth a plan
To find an imperfect person and
Let her sweep these feet beneath
Bequeath to me some new belief
And the details will reveal themselves
As I field the female feelings felt
Someone to push up against
I'll welcome healthy arguments
'Cause making up and making love
And waking up to a naked hug
Is exactly what I badly want
So, bluntly, let me bear the brunt
And the human heart is the hardest part
The softest spot for the sharpest dart
But nothing, and I mean nothing, will
Feel as real as when it's filled
[Instrumental Outro]
[Audio from inside a busy airport]
