Tintin in Tibet-Mount Eerie

[00:00.82]I sing to you [00:04.37]I sing to you Geneviève [00:08.17]I sing to you [00:11.53]You don't exist [00:15.88]I sing to you though [00:29.51]When I address you who am I talking to [00:37.25]Standing in the front yard like an open wound [00:42.86]Repeating I love you to who [01:00.82]I recorded all these songs about the weird echoes in our house now [01:07.39]And then I walked out the door to play them on a stage [01:13.83]But I sing to you [01:19.91]I picture you [01:22.71]When we first met you were 22 [01:25.93]And I drove my truck onto the ferry to victoria in the morning [01:31.55]Where we met and talked forever in your apartment with evening falling [01:37.02]So I brought my blankets in [01:39.26]And slept on the floor right next to your bed [01:42.51]In the morning barely awake I saw you standing right above me [01:48.12]Peeling an orange and looking hungry [01:51.10]Do you want some you asked me [01:53.36]And then just avalanched into me with pieces of orange [01:57.99]And weight and kissing and certainty [02:04.07]I remember you a few days later in Torino [02:09.04]Where we'd driven to play a show you'd set up [02:12.31]For us at a surf shop to no one [02:15.98]Then we slept in the back of my truck [02:18.72]And got woken up by the cops [02:21.13]Then went down to the fishing boat dock to ask whoever for a ride [02:27.06]Across the water to Meares Island to just get left there for the day [02:32.70]And we did and brought some food to eat and went through the big trees [02:37.41]Abandoned and in love totally insane apart from the rest of the world [02:44.13]We had finally found each other in the universe [02:49.72]Lying on the rocks waiting for the boat to come pick us up [02:54.56]I read the one book we had with us aloud [02:58.02]With my head on your lap sinking into you [03:03.05]Tinting in Tibet in French [03:06.12]And we thought of devotion and snow [03:08.67]And distant longing in the Himalayan air [03:13.16]High and cold with a bell ringing out [03:27.40]Then right before you died thirteen years later in our house [03:32.80]I remember through your gasping for oxygen [03:37.11]You explained that you'd been thinking about that high cold air [03:43.04]Wrapping the globe singing above the mountains of the gods [03:55.97]And I do picture you there molecules dancing [04:07.93]But I'd rather you were in the house watching [04:10.89]The unfolding everyday life of this good daughter we made [04:16.07]Instead of being scattered by the wind for no reason [04:24.79]So I sing to you
