Из альбома: The Unmistakable Man
Press your nose to the glass
Whisper freedom at last to your window
Buckle your seat wrapped up warm in a sheet on your way
Press your ear to the fabric
Vibrations and static from nowhere
The engines will spin till your dreams have caved into your eyes
I've settled into a feeling I hope never passes
I am afraid but I couldn't admit that to you
The clocks are all sugar the minutes the move like molasses
Putting holes in my teeth from the hope I've been chewing too long
Spitting arrows at innocent sparrows for fun
In the sand I will whisper a thing about living
A wise little word just to bounce up and down in your brain
Then you'll realize it's love that I meant to be giving
You'll smile a bit but then probably conclude I'm insane
Eager eyes setting back in my head
What have you done for your time?
I can't read what the bible says
But I'm learning to love what is mine
I'm trying to care and I'm trying to carry
the weight of the things I have done
Lay me my love,
Down, down
The winter is passing and I am it's only companion
Shooting the liquor like bullets into my regrets
I need you here just to kill off the fear of abandon
Praying dear god do you think you could help me forget
Smile breaks from your lips when the ground you have met
I am terrified but I haven't wavered yet
Through the gate you will wonder, so lost, so alone
I will say to you this is the place I call home
Eager eyes setting back in my head
What have you done for your time?
I can't read what the bible says
But I'm learning to love what is mine
I'm trying to care and I'm trying to carry
the weight of the things I have done
Hoping for answers and begging to feel
As the monster that I have become
Eager eyes setting back in my head
Hearing son where the hell did you go?
In all your travels and all you've heard said
Did you hear something I didn't know?
I will care for you, I look after you
I will not fear the above
Lay me my love
