about

This is an earlier, rawer take of The Weakling, recorded in a session during our festival, POPAsheville, in 2008. The song appears on our 2009 release, Warm People, in slightly different form. We decided to post this version because we still love it.

lyrics

The Weakling
(c) 2007 Sid Music (BMI)

In the weary winter
On the coldest street
From the weakling fingers
To the wildest meat
Would you say "I love you" to the thin blue air
Or descend a mountain like a hungry bear?

In the chill of every morning it keeps you warm
And if you pull on the side of the melody, it keeps its form
And I cling, cling to the ceiling

From the icest ice cream
With the smoothest spoon
I devour sweetness
By the light of the moon
With the thinnest arms I still can hold you up
In the wee hours I take from the fullest cup

With the willest will I try to tell you so
But there's nothing I can do if you already know
I could descend a mountain like a hungry bear
But the weakling's closer to the lion's share
