It doesn't feel summer any more
The sun is hiding all the goddamn time
The past and future turn to nothingness inside my eyes
And I'm running round in circles in my mind
And I wonder why I wasted all this time
Standing on the shore to watch the tide come in
Always chasing down the moment I can't find
With no paper trail to what I left behind
The children run away
Save it for another day
Closed down, closing in
You've got me on the run again
It still feels like winter when I'm alone
And she's still keeping sunlight on its own
When I come back will it be the same
As it was before, are we still sure or will I be a broken man again?
And I wonder why I wasted all this time
Standing on the shore to watch the tide come in
Always chasing down the moment I can't find
With no paper trail to what I left behind
The children ran away
We saved it for another day
We always knew that it was never fair
But don't be afraid
And I wonder why we wasted all this time
We're standing on the shore to chase the tide away
Always running down the moment we could never find
Without a paper trail to what we left behind

This is a great adaptation of Arthuriana and a brilliant narrative album. I love how the queerness of the characters is handled as an integral part of the narrative and plot development without it being the end all be all of the characters themselves. my boy Gawain deserved better though maritarvaniti
Pretty avant-pop with simple instrumentation and gentle bite from New York's Garcon No.1 cleverly subverts the torch song. Bandcamp New & Notable Feb 13, 2020
