Smallest

Bear Quartet · Family Affair [1993]

A walk across the ice cracks

I'm certain, days

Turn their backs

Faster on the houses

And lonely they

Turn to themselves

As the night turns on everything else



Wrapped up and hollow

The smallest day

Can open up tomorrow



Days turn their backs

Faster for sure

They only knock and then turn at the door

Hardly remembered

We're falling into ourselves

As the cold falls on everything else



The smallest day

Nothing much at all

Coffee and sparkling minerals
