about

We recorded this track with our new friends Austin Bello and Caleb Turman last year. It is the first time that we have ever used outside production help to put together a track. The Orchard was written and recorded over two days in the studio.

lyrics

Lovely, you found the orchard
I slipped into your dreams
I've forgotten your voice now
But I remember you melody

A bite from your apple
To drink from your streams
Once dance sharing starlight
A whirring world's final scenes

Eleanor shake your sleep out
May your eyes multiply the light
Through the midnight of your concrete canyons
Our spin keeps on time
And all this time we lied, we tried to hide...to hold all our nothing
And all the lights and empty nights, we waltzed to stay in our spin

No grace left over
When you shut me out of your eyes
Retreat to a foreign palace
In a land I never recognize

Eleanor shake your sleep out
May your eyes multiply the light
Through the midnight of your concrete canyons
Our spin keeps on time
And all this time we lied, we tried to hide...to hold all our nothing
And all the lights and empty nights, we waltzed to stay in our spin

We waltzed to stay in our spin
We waltzed to stay in our spin

The stars are bright in the clearest night
The stars are bright in the darkest light
Should we find ourselves with a chill on an August night
We should twirl back into the light
We should twirl back into the light

Eleanor shake your sleep out

Eleanor shake your sleep out
May your eyes multiply the light
Through the midnight of your concrete canyons
Our spin keeps on time
And all this time we lied , we tried to hide...to hold all our nothing
And all the lights and empty nights, we waltzed to stay in our spin
