Sugar Root

A rough writing and recording session for loved ones near and far. Please forgive the quality of the video and the once-through performance. Gotta get back to papering... BUT

Happy Thanksgiving!

Thank you for being the root of sweetness in my life.

Love,
Karmia

Lyrics-----

Sugar Root

They said you there child
you can't drain the night sky
and keep the stars, persuade their light
into the folds of your dress, where you kept the rest
the dumb regrets you dress the best you can
so child don't start
to outsmart the parts and rifts and signs
the scrimmage line, where the moment passed
beyond your grasp where it made the mark
what tension hardened, the faultlines darken
the hands that sharpen must now
dull the blade

With the spade on my back
Find the sugar root, ooh
Back in the world where
I first saw you
I dig out a hundred routes to you
Pray that you'll come round soon

I say you come wild
Wild like the cursive hand of vine
wine so fine, in the heat of day
I curl away underneath your shade
where I count my blessings
out of fingers, out of time
the feet remember now
the street forgot

With a spring in my step
Find the sugar root, ooh
Back in the world where
I first saw you
I run out a hundred routes to you
Pray to God that you'll come round soon

With the ticket in hand
Find the sugar root, ooh
Back to the world where
I once knew you
I paint out the hundred hues of you
Pray that you'll see it soon
