Nutmeg Boy

--> Patter

Have you ever tasted smoke?
The earthly flavor of spice leaves
Have you wondered what it would be like
To eat the leaves of spice
Stardust of the tropics

--> Nutmeg Boy

Gonna seize the whole operation
Gonna burn down the western station
It's an army of liberation
Gonna seize the whole operation

On a hillside above the sea crash falls
We fell in love with the leaves of spice but the war did draw
A mess of cinnamon & mace in the shadows of the sea-bent squalls
We fell in love with the thought that our love would save us from it all

These are the seasons of our love
Starling & allspice
Cinnamon dove

Gonna seize the whole operation
Gonna burn down the western station
It's an army of liberation

All these things in my head
Are but feelings

On a hillside above the sea crash falls
On a hillside above the sea crash falls

We are an island
We are the silence
We are the black smoke
We are the failures of the stars above

These are the seasons of our love
Starling & allspice
Cinnamon dove

On a hillside above the sea crash falls
We fell in love with the leaves of spice but the war did draw
A mess of cinnamon & mace in the shadows of the sea-bent squalls
We fell in love with the thought that our love would save us from it all

These are the seasons of our love
Starling & allspice
& cinnamon dove

A fence of palm frond
A sea sick stare
A nest of cinnamon sticks
Blood in your hair

A fence of palm frond
A sea sick sun
Smoke of cinnamon leaves
Dust of oblivion
Dust of oblivion

from a balm from tropical nature LP (2021), released June 24, 2021
