Mount Eerie - PUMPKIN lyrics

In the middle of November
Smashed on the rocks
At the edge of the island
A bright thing caught my eye
It was a pumpkin half

I walked to the bookstore in a
Rain that silently filled the air
All the lights were off or dim
And there was nothing to do
But walk to town and back

In every ordinary moment looking at
Trash on the ground
By the bulldozers in the dusk I forget myself
And see universes forming
Pulled back out from a
Dream of rolling landscapes
I face the moment

Looking at garbage pretending the wind speaks
Finding meaning in songs
But the wind through the graves is just wind

Crawling over the wet rocks with
Dark sand in my shoes
To where the orange pumpkin I found
Cracked open in the waves
Its emptiness loose
