about

An Anand song that came out of the second week of quarantine, a sudden March snow, and a need for somewhere to put all of that anxiety. Dedicated to Polly, who works as a nurse and is having to stay isolated from her family.

lyrics

outside in i’m outside
in this sudden springtime snow
falling like the sky
woah
3am the plows awaken
angry claws across my chalkboard nerves
‘til all my dreams are interrupted

and oh where are you now
oh where are you now

inside out i’m inside
out among the pine trees
out of my ever-loving mind
woah
pining for your feather touch
to rest upon your swaying branches
a trueblue egg in a robin’s nest
to lay my head upon your breast

and oh where are you now
oh where are you now

all around without a sound
the circus tents are coming down
every seat is empty
woah
outside in i’m outside in
the dark of thinly coated branches
that catch the light of passing cars
whispering of falling stars
i wonder if that’s where you are

oh where are you now
oh where are you now
