Storms a brewin'
Our township was covered in a haze today, from the wildfires and forest fires in Canada (and a much smaller one in Sussex County), and you could smell the burning wood. Ominous.

Lyrics
A game of inches and no time to play
A row of houses that begin to sway
When the wind is calming down
One for talking in and out of your sleep
Two for flinching when you try to keep
The peace between two rational lies
A time for roses, but no time to stay
The Moon exposes tiny cracks in the haze
And maybe more
In between the falling leaves
The years become the stars
Why should I begin to follow?
And why would you try to lead?
The road between the Fall and Chicago
Is littered with fallen trees
In between the falling leaves
The images start to blur
I can see what others see
As the years become the stars
It’s where we are today
A time for roses, but no time to stay
The Moon is frozen in a latter phase
As the wind is calming down
One for walking when you’re still asleep
And two for flinching when you try to keep
The wind from calming down
A games of chance and circumstance
A row of houses that begin to chant
As the wind is calming down
Down, down, down
Down, down, down
