    Lyrics:
    Name on the line
    Last request
    Pull the car over
    To find some rest
    Saying “I love you”
    Need to lie here
    Need to leave
    Living in the debt of make believe
    Saying I owe you
    Crooked as a crow gnawing on dawn
    Shadow from the grass in the dirt on the lawn
    Why do I string you along?
    My certainty is wild, weaving
    For you I am a child, believing
    You lay beside me sleeping on a plain In the future
    Sit on the phone
    Watch t.v.
    Romance, action, mystery
    Wanted to show you
    Sine wave is a particle ride
    Bring your light out then in on the tide
    Maybe I love you
    Maybe I love you is a river so high
    Maybe I love you is a river so lowI love you, still don’t know
    My certainty is wild, weaving
    For you I am a child, believing
    You lay beside me sleeping on a plane
    In the future
    My certainty is wild, weaving
    For you
    I am a child, believing
    You lay beside me sleeping on a plain
    In the future

    “For you I am a child, believing” the way they sing is so achingly beautiful

    the chord change from "maybe I love you is a river so high" (major) to "maybe I love you is a river so low" (minor) works really really well.

      Also the backing vocals by Hannah Cohen are great. I'd love it if Big Thief could tour with a backing vocalist to add the harmonies & doubled vocals we hear on many of the recorded songs.

      Before I had even seen this comment, I commented:" So sweetly "Buckified".......love when they sing together". I still can't believe I got to see him and his great band in a modest small setting performing his album "Two Saviors" +. So cool they appreciate their audience enough to do shows like that. Before the show while parking my Royal Enfield a guy started chatting with me about bikes and as it turned out he was the bass player! I'm not positive, but if he was Mathew Davidson (or otherwise), doing some searching, he's a very accomplished artist in his own right, and a very decent human too!

    My son asked to look at Halloween lights tonight, and this came on the radio. I knew instantly it was Big Thief, but wasn’t sure of the song until later. I adore this song more than I can articulate. Just blown away. Crooked as a Crow, gnawing on dawn. I mean, come on.

      The only love we can rely on comes from within. The only true love is the love you give yourself. And then you will see beauty in the world without any blindfold, and you will treat it with kindness when it has none to give. And maybe a companion will enter, and maybe leave, and maybe never enter at all. But it will be okay.
