From Halcyon Lyrics by Will Varley

Postcards From Ursa Minor

2015

I finished writing this song in the summer
Now I'm watching the snowflakes fall
As the years go by, I wonder if I really like it here at all
Well, I woke up this morning in a strange town
The truth is I thought I'd be dead by now
I guess I'll keep on going until they find me out
With love from halcyon

I'm glad that I stayed out drinking
Put some medicine in my mind
To distract me from this grain of sand
In the middle of space and a time
This morning my head is losing the war
It's cold outside as I walk out the door
And I get the feeling this has happened before
With love from halcyon

I can feel myself disappearing in the early morning sun
I fade with the road that I'm walking
With love from halcyon

As the morning breaks over Southampton
I'm wondering how long and how far
Still thinking about that old friend, as the waitress trips over my guitar
See he stopped singing songs and he moved away
Heard he's picking apples down near Rattlesnake Bay
I can picture him now singing "Lowlands Away"
With love from halcyon

I remember early evening
The first time Summer showed her face
We sat outside with GB and wine
Talking about the good old days
We woke up in Paris, all covered in dust
And a man on the boat pulled a knife on us
If time is money then money isn't much
With love from halcyon

And I could feel us disappearing
In the early morning sun
For we were just dead men walking
With love from Halzephron

Well many years gone I've been travelling on
Searching across this land
Now I don't know what I've been looking for yet
Hope someday I'll understand
I'm just a copy of a copy
My own version of time
I'll never see yours and you'll never see mine
But we still see the same sunsets
And walk the same lines
With love from Halcyon

I started writing this song in the winter
Now I'm watching the spring blossom fall
Tell me how can the difference between hours and years
Feel so endless and yet so small
Well, I left that house about four this morning
And I got a feeling that they'll carry on going
'Til the cigarettes freeze over and the whiskey stops flowing
They'll be singing "Lowlands Away"

And if Halcyon is the days gone by
And she is the one that I love
And if now is the place that I'm supposed to be
Then it isn't long enough

For some day soon I'll be a photograph
Underneath my grandson's bed
But I heard there's a universe somewhere
Where this song wasn't written yet
So, if you feel yourself disappearing
In the early morning sun
Just smile and keep on walking
With love from halcyon
With love from Halzephron
