From the recording Happy Ending (2016)
Such a deep, wonderful sound, both wistful and hopeful at once, perfectly reflecting the lyric expression. The lyrics are pure poetry. A touch of David Crosby here in your sound. The evocations of childhood and observations of age are profoundly moving. The laughing child is heartbreakingly beautiful. A favorite. - Ethan

Lyrics
I don’t want to feel
I don’t want to feel like I’m falling into winter
I don’t want to go
I don’t want to go from a forest to a splinter
So I’m dreaming
And nothing can touch me
That cannot be whispered away
I’m a cinder
And everyone’s singing
Along to the song of the day
And I feel like I do
And I do anyway
I remember when
I remember when my advances were adventures
I remember when
I remember when seven senses went uncensored
And the monsters
Under my bed couldn’t touch me
Or keep me awake
And the jokes were
Over my head
But I laughed as I melted away
And I feel like I do
And I do anyway
And I feel so alive
And I feel tonight
Like I live in a movie
And I sing to survive
And I freeze
I am winter
And I sleep where I lay
And I do what I do
And I do anyway
