    A bucket list item for me, getting this record pressed. 180 gram vinyl with a cool home-printed lyric sheet. NOT shrink-wrapped, because single use plastic is dumb. They'll ship in a clear slip cover like you'd find in the record store.

lyrics

I saw a great blue heron circling in a deep blue sky
Circling around, circling around, circling around
I could run these woods like a spirit that’s never been found
Circling around, circling around, sink into the cold red ground

I turned and wandered downstream, head held high on a slender neck
Waiting for a sign, waiting for a sign, waiting for a sign
Two big snapping turtles lay in the middle of the creek in a shallow spot
I am not alone, I am not alone, life just keeps on moving

I stand with one foot on dry land
I know you’ve seen me here before
Step down the bank, stretch out a hand
And we’ll walk together for a while
