Sifters

when the late summer (?) fires off in your arms

the lyrics are: "when the late summer lightning fires off in your arms"

Here's the full lyrics from "Break it Yourself" (Also, the song is just called "Sifters," without the "the," on the album)

If sound is a wave like a wave on the ocean Moon plays the ocean like a violin Pushing and pulling from shore to shore Biggest melody you never heard before What if I were the night sky Here's my lullaby to leave by

What if we hadn't been born at the same time What if you were 75 and I were 9 Would I come visit you Bring you cookies in an old folks home Would you be there alone And when the late summer lightning fires off in your arms will I remember to breathe no I never will And if I could convince you that I mean you no harm Just want to show you how not to need What if I were the night sky Here's my lullaby to leave by

What if we hadn't been each other at the same time Would you tell me all the stories from when you were young and in your prime Would I rock you to sleep Would you tell all the secrets you don't need to keep Would I still miss you Or would you then have been mine If sound is a wave like a wave on the ocean Moon plays the ocean like a violin

This song was released in two earlier versions - as "The Sifters" on Fingerlings 4 and as "Night Sky" on the Norman movie soundtrack.
