about

• ONCE: A song/story based on third-person impressions of the 2008 flood that overtook Cedar Rapids, Iowa, covering 10 square miles of city, and woven with nostalgic memories of 20 foot corn my parents grew in our Seattle backyard when I was five years old, to block out the neighbors.

lyrics

ONCE

when i was young the corn it ran high
it reached to the sun and it kissed to the sky
But all that's long gone it's been taken away
to make room for a strip mall and packaged up dreams

I dreamed that the green was the bottom of the sea
and the blue sky the ocean covering over me
I screamed out your name and the river ran high
all the flowers are blooming with a whale swimming by

Dreaming dawning careless yawning
i held you before the morning
light broke down
before I broke down

The river runs deep and the river runs wild
she took out the town & left the corn beside
& If its true what they say
that you’ll reap what you sow
I will plant us some flowers before we must go

When i was young the corn it ran high
it reached to the sun and it kissed to the sky
& its true what they say that you reap what you sow
So I will plant us some flowers before we must go

Dreaming dawning careless yawning
i held you before the morning
light broke down
before I broke down
