Eric Holm's Radical Queer Country Music
Levitt At The Falls
June 18, 2022

Grateful for the chance to share the music!

lyrics

They are the sweetest one
My darling one
They’ve got a heart for each biome

They are a scientist
Planet activist
They’re fighting for this blue-green home

Oh oh oh, our blue-green home

They’ve got a case to make
A system to break
I’m gonna hold their hand so tight

And honey when they’re spent
When that letter is sent
We’re gonna spoon and nest at night

Oh oh, spoon and nest at night

And honey when we’re scared
Feeling underprepared
Like when we face another storm

They’ve got a love in me
We’ve got a sunrise to see
We’re gonna keep us safe and warm

May we all be safe and warm

They are a scientist
And a Zen Buddhist
They’ve got a heart for each biome
