Binoculars
Look at me up in the sky
Not sitting on a telephone wire
How’d I get to be so high
Winds will take me higher
Binoculars
watch me go
Binoculars
(blow winds blow)
Binoculars
Watch me fly
Binoculars
Just wave goodbye
Streak across the shiny night
All things are forgiven
Moon is glowing cold and bright
Some things are still hidden
Binoculars
watch me go
Binoculars
(blow winds blow)
Binoculars
Watch me fly
Binoculars
Just wave goodbye
Give my winter love a kiss
I will not forget her
But summer is the one I miss
I guess I love her better
Binoculars
watch me go
Binoculars
(blow winds blow)
Binoculars
Watch me fly
Binoculars
Just wave goodbye

The Zebras
Words and Music by Carrie Ferguson
It has rained for days
The valley is covered with long shallow lakes
The highway glitters with overjoyed rivers
And the sun laughs down
You and I sit up on the mountain
Squinting our eyes at the water below
We thought we knew every inch of this valley
But now we’re not certain what it is that we know
It has rained for days
All the shapes that we treasured have melted away
Fields and fences and baseball games
All awash in the flood
A great herd of zebras leaps off of the mountain
Flying wingless, galloping through sky
It doesn’t surprise us, we are jealous as always
They make it look easy as they fall by
If we can lose it all tomorrow, tomorrow
Why not love today?
If we can lose it all tomorrow, tomorrow
Why not give it all away
It has rained for days
All that precious water was too much to save
We will have to wait
The sun has returned but she promises nothing
Up on the mountain we’re watching the zebras
Splash through the water in the valley below
You want to swim with them and I am willing
When nothing’s familiar to let it all go
If we can lose it all tomorrow, tomorrow
Why not love today?
If we can lose it all tomorrow, tomorrow
Why not give it all away

Carrie Ferguson Northampton, Massachusetts
Carrie grew up playing an enormous upright, chocolate-brown piano. It had a darkly booming, slightly furry quality to it, like the weather in her hometown of Arcata on the North Coast of California. Ferguson credits its sonorous voice, combined with the perpetual fog and clamminess as instilling in her the baseline aesthetic of melancholic optimism that permeates her words and music today. ... more
