Lovers of Valdaro
words & music by Daniel Zaitchik

from upcoming album NATURAL HISTORY, out January 31st, 2020

lyrics

Long after the ice has melted, long after the flood
Long after the meteors, the virus in the blood

They will come here digging, yeah they’ll take a look around
They will dig and when they dig they’ll find us in the ground

This used to be a city sitting in a country
Sitting on a continent
This used to be a river, used to be a high school
Used to be a monument

There used to be two people living in a house here
One of many little homes
What will they know from the positions of our bones?

Will they think we were happy together?
Will they think we had something good?
Will they think we didn’t know we were dying
Cuz the music said we never would?

Will they think we held on to each other
When we knew that the end was near?
Or will they think we held on to each other
Will they think we held on like that for years?

Long before the moon was settled, long before the bombs
This was California and the wind was in the palms

I was brewing coffee, you were rinsing out your hair
The dogs were eating breakfast
There was jasmine in the air

This used to be a country wrapped around a city
Wrapped around a parking lot
Where every Sunday morning they would have a market
Radishes and apricots

These used to be our mouths, used to be our hands
Used to be our microphones
What will they discover in what used to be our bones?

Will they think we were happy together?
Will they think we’d made up our minds?
Will they think we were the life of the party?
Will they think we were the quiet kind?

And will they think we held on to each other
When we knew that the end was near?
Or will they think we held on to each other
Will they think we held on like that for years?

Don’t forget the world was full of light
Don’t forget the world the world
was full was full of light of light

I was brewing coffee, you were rinsing out your hair
The dogs were eating breakfast
There was jasmine in the air

Do you think we were happy together?
Do you think we’d made up our minds?
Do you think we were the life of the party?
Kinda think we were the quiet kind

Do you think we held on to each other
When we knew that the end was near?
Or do you think we held on to each other
Do you think we held on like that for years?

Do you think we were happy together?
Do you think we had something good?
Do you think we ever knew we were dying?
The music say we never would

Yeah, I don’t think we ever knew we were dying
The music said we never would
