lyrics

Jacob, your sweet smile each time we pull apart…
That we ever have to stop at all would surely break my heart
I feel your wishes and your words in my skin
My hands are burning and my body’s singing
Te Deum for you, for you

Jacob, you have opened me like none before
I found solace in security and never asked for more
I heard the Ballad of Lucy Jordan
I thought she was just a foolish dreamer
Chasing her regret ’til you

Jacob, take me on a journey far from here
Roll your car up with the engine off so my husband doesn’t hear
I left my suitcase behind the door
I’ve got some records and the money-jar
And not a lot else more but you

about

Wasp Summer Berlin, Germany

After five years in Berlin, Europe’s grimy,

adventurous voice. The songs talk about resilience
and breaking with the past.
