Great Dunes Lyrics by Emily Ritz

Pattern Recess

2018

Like the great dunes
Beautiful but in the wrong place
Our love came too soon
Built to bloom but not built to stay
My eyes full mooned
Then the light made you look away
If I give you room
Will you see there may not come a day
To try to love again
To try to love again
To try to love again

Like the hot spring
Stay too long a fever’s comin on
Dizzy I try standing
In body and heart I don’t feel strong
Flying with one wing
The distance feels impossibly long
Is this all you could bring
A 'sorry' and an 'I know I was wrong'
To try to love again
To try to love again
To try to love again

Like the valley
I don’t know what's on the other side
I sure did not see
How ready I was to love, to collide
To try to love again
To try to love again
To try to love again
