about

I wrote this about my friend, Corrie Halstead Pugh, who died way too young from breast cancer.
She joked during her illness that she'd one day write a play called "News of My Death".

lyrics

Silent & white as the moon is the world, as the world is in wintertime, oh.
Far in the distance, I’d hear your voice, if not for all of this snow.

Silence is stronger than loudness but broken more easily. Easily.
Whiteness is all of the colours together apparently, surrounding me.
As far as the eye can see.

Nothing comes but something leaves me hanging there.
Me & echoes of departure in the air.

And time goes by without blinking, ‘cuz it doesn’t know.
And past tense feels so sickening and hollow.
And the landscape’s changed but I’m not afraid, just alone.
It comes down down down, like it’s dreaming.

And I didn’t think you were leaving. As far as you’ll ever go.
As far as you’ll ever go.
And it’s cold, like a blanket, like a blanket, it’s cold like a blanket of snow.
