Ava - Darlingside

As we get to altitude

You pull out a photograph of blue

Shutters in the afternoon

And boats on the water

I’m gonna have to think this through:

How could you feel for a man the way a man could feel for you?

You’re talking

in tongues to me and I’ve got a sudden fear of flying…

Half of the day, half of the night, Ava

Half of the day, half of the night, Ava

Up here you can’t feel the world turn

Drinks only come around once, you’d think that they would learn.

How’s the two thousand and six?

Is that the year for merlot?

I’ve been waiting for something like this

Oh, something like this

Half of the day, half of the night, Ava

Half of the day

Ava, would you like me to be 29 or 23?

With great height comes great ephemerality

Maybe we could acclimate to conditions on the ground

As we get to altitude

You pull out a photograph of blue

Shutters in the afternoon

And boats on the water

Half of the day, half of the night, Ava

Half of the day, half of the night, Ava
