Music and lyrics by Damon Waitkus
Lyrics
Looking for a quiet man,
preferably long in tooth,
to live out his simple life alone
among the shadows of our garden
between the sundial and the stars
and tend a fire in the offing.
Must appear to have resigned
to the heavy hand of fate
and to live from day to day
in humble contemplation of his last breath.
Must never talk to any guests,
or leave the premises,
or publish.
For the qualified applicant:
hedge clippers, hovel,
and a burial plot
behind the birdbath
provided.
Personnel
Thea Kelley – lead and backing vocals
Emily Packard – violin, viola
Josh Packard – cello
Jason Hoopes – bass
