Locked away and looking for another word to tell you more,
I wonder when my wisdom will get here.
A song appears in front of me, a melody I’m whistling,
The television glowing like a moonbeam.
It happens all through life,
It’s sailing in the night,
Along the corners of my eye,
I wonder when I’m gonna get it right.
Circling a loop de loop, a basketball right through the hoop,
I hear a swish and suddenly I feel it.
I hold a pen right in my hand, I try the left and back again,
The page still bare, I drift off and wonder.
It happens all the time,
It’s sailing in the night,
Along the corners of my eye,
I wonder when I’m gonna get it right.
Alvvays has always been great, but with this album they took it to the next level. Every one of these songs is lodged in my brain now, permanently (in a good way). s. moxley
