Lyrics:

  • why do they call her wren?
  • she changed her name to fit the way that she was feeling then
  • then wren, she spilled some wine,
  • forgot the names they used to call her in those other times

  • truly, underneath the stars there are a million ways to be the way you are
  • all of them dying
  • underneath the rays there’ll be a million ways to live the days ahead
  • why are we crying?

  • if i knock . . what will i say?
  • i know you’ve been in your home & i’ve been far away
  • when i knock . . who will i be?
  • i know you’re a different you & i’ve forgotten me

  • truly, underneath the stars there are a million ways to be the way you are
  • all of them dying
  • underneath their rays there’ll be a million ways to live the days ahead
  • why are we crying?

  • why not change our names? some things we won’t recognize
  • some will remain the same
  • some people roll a stone
  • find out they were never really even in their home

  • underneath the stars there are a million ways to be the way you are
  • all of them dying
  • underneath the rays there’ll be a million ways to live the days ahead
  • why are we crying?

  • there were words
  • on my skin
  • you touched them & they woke again
  • now they’re on the wind
