about

"I See You Every Morning" was recorded in a single session, alone in an empty garage, using only an assembly of voice memo recordings. It’s the first of three songs recorded in this way, all in the span of 24 hours, all moving toward the same feeling.

Everything, Eventually
Falls in line.

lyrics

I see you every morning
Cutting quiet through the freight train yard
I love the gentle way you walk
Don’t wake the critters sleeping soft
Oh, ain’t that style?

I see you every morning
Screaming at the people passing by
Here and there a clever little rhyme
I love your cheeky little smile
Oh, ain’t that style?

I see you every morning
Giving up a secret for a kiss
Trading lonely for something more or less like this
How you sold him
On something you ain’t gonna miss
Oh, ain’t that style?

I see you every morning
Talking about what you ain’t never been
Weave the lies a crown upon your head
Speak the words had never yet been said
Oh, ain’t that style?

I see you every morning
Pain so clearly marked upon your face
Day after day now
Portrait of a man about to break
Still you stand there
Hair combed back the same familiar way
Oh, ain’t that style?

Shine on you crazy diamonds
