We collaborated on this song for the Making Music with Jake Haws Podcast. We starting with writing a song about sleep, which sort of morphed into being a song about the joys and pains of being a parent.
Little hands, little cough
What is this love?
So much pain, so much joy
We can avoid
Closed eyes, the darkness rises from the grave
Breath deep the feeling reaches up from the past
Stare straight til it goes away
Boats drifting current strong,
Peace in our minds
Gains balanced, ego crushed
However it falls
Closed eyes, the darkness rises from the grave
Breath deep the feeling reaches up from the past
Stare straight til it goes away
