lyrics

What if nothing is a problem?
Are you looking around?
I always feel like I'm falling now
But what if there's no ground?

What if all things have an ending
But I don't wanna go
I think I spent my life pretending
It can't go up in smoke

I don't know the answer, nor do you
Don't trust anyone who says they do
How addicted to the certainty I've been
Letting go of that, I'll need a friend

I'm from the land of no tomorrow
But I gotta trust the sun
Time's arrow breaks but also makes
The webs of meaning that we've spun

Oh, me and death, we've had relations
I like to think I'm not afraid
But if she called me home tomorrow
I know I'd miss your face

I know love's the question, so do you
Asking it won't stop just cuz we're through
Knowing this will ease my days before the end
And all the nights along the way, I'll be your friend

The Saying and the Said Portland, Oregon

A devious and devastating musical trio from Portland, OR with swampy southern roots. Drawing on haunting folk, cajun two steps, 80's country, & doomy blues, with tight high-lonesome harmonies evoking feminist bluegrass pioneers Hazel Dickens and Alice Gerrard. Their off-kilter original songs spin tales of desert motels and mortality, of faraway mothers and muppet exorcisms. ... more
