Arounding glow of streetlight
You saw children become the night
And the sky it became whatever else
The world opens up just for itself
Arounding shoulder in inhuman Florida light
I approached a place where the dead unite
And in the cemetery owls let out their cries
and we just stood in the Cassadaga night
Arounding spinach chopped light beside the kale
I opened into an orange peel
And the sun was suddenly in my stare
And I gave it to you to match your hair
Arounding glow of streetlight
You saw children become the night
And the sky it became whatever else
On “Meet Me By the River,” Dawn Landes’s self-described “Nashville record,” buoyant country melodies settle deep into lush instrumentation. Bandcamp New & Notable May 7, 2018
