Four Letter Words

from Absurdity Under by Tim Koehn

/

lyrics

When I felt the wind today, I felt it cold, so cold.
It told what's old, Go away, come back someday
When fearless newness has broken from its mold.
Then we can stand here and say…

As long as there's movement to feel, there's newness.
As long as sunlight's shining bright, there's love in sight.
Four letter words always help us through this:
Love, Hope, or Time usually run through roughest day.

When that old bitch-goddess bays, our hearts grow cold, so cold.
Instead of breath, fur, and face, we get a waste
Of plastic trinkets to measure out our days;
We'll feel how much lightness weighs…

But as long as there's movement to feel, there's newness.
As long as sunlight's shining bright, there's love in sight.
Four letter words always help us through this:
Love, Hope, or Time usually run through roughest day.

I can't tell how this cold air's gonna break this
moment of greatness shapeless, then in a minute
this blue bright trumpet makes this thousands of faces.

I can't tell how this cold air's gonna break this
moment of greatness shapeless, then in a minute
this blue bright trumpet makes this a thousand little places.
