lyrics

seagulls whine,
stinging sand bites,
nor'easters howlin' through the night.

how can it be christmas when i feel so
blue?
blue, grey, blue
wrecked by you
and brothers too
but you teach us to
stick like glue
to each other
oh, love is true
even if pain is too.

the sky is grey,
the water greyer.
no one’s here now.
the beach is mine.

and i feel alone
except for those little birds
peckin' along the coastline.

sandpipers piping,
birds overhead in a line.
i remember how you told me
a pelican
fit more in his beak
than his belly can.
how can this be christmas,
when i’m alone on the strand
and a father lost at sea?
why should the one who’s moving in the world be me?

blue. grey. blue.
thinking of you.
blue, grey, blue.
to weather through,
that’s my wish for you.
that’s my wish for you.
blue, grey, blue.
blue, grey, blue.
blue, grey, blue.
won’t hold you down -

Being Without
by Barrow

A succinct, truly profound, refined album evolving constantly through nostalgic fields of post-hardcore and evocative planes of downtempo indie rock with simultaneously lissome and woebegone lyricism. Grant Livesay
