Oh you screamed Hallelujah darling,
startled all the sleeping Starlins on the wire.
As we walked up the footpath through the fields,
how the rain did reveal your heart.
And the rope swing from the balance held the weight,
shadows fall and a cold wind blows.
And you said oh maybe we’re just lost souls here,
maybe oh everybody goes.
And it took them three days to find you,
tired torch lights and dog scents.
Oh they led you down from the highest branches,
cold eyes and frozen arms.
And my my my your beauty was so dumbfounded,
lace white dress and your hair as long as Follaton Woods.
And the whole town just stood there crying looking at the darkness,
for something wholesome and good.
Still don’t, don’t you forget.
That rope you tied around your neck.
Don’t free you darling
Morning white mist came across the plane,
blue skies and rain.
Oh and it was the strangest day,
people taking cover people holding shame.
…You woulda laughed your heart out
skin, and it’s warm enough to hold you and keep you breathing
but it locks me out and makes me lose my needing
and how long to be alone
how will i carry these bones
and i’m so far from not caring
Unpacking boxes, lighter things went on top
Down at the bottom all the things I forgot
My heavy heart
Hard to empty
Hard to carry up another flight
All the time it takes to hold it right…
My heavy heart
So I suppose you’ll be in every song I sing
If not written in my words, you’ll be hidden in these strings
Cause how could I ever forget my first love
My first woman, first truth, first child from above
But why do I hang onto your pictures
Why have I not just thrown out that dress
Cause it kills me to see you, but it kills me not to
It kills me to remember, oh and it kills me to forget
And I am short on words knowing what’s occurred
She begins to leave because of me
Her bag is now much heavier
I wish that I could carry her
But this is our ungodly hour
Our love was just one of your discarded jewels
You think back to its price and oh you feel a fool
But in that certain light, it looked so beautiful
I’m in love with a girl,
Who’s in love with the world,
Though I can’t help but follow.
Though I know some day,
She is bound to go away,
And stay over the rainbow.
Gotta learn how to let her go.
Over the rainbow.
Sometimes we forget who we got,
Who they are.
Oh, who they are not.
There is so much more in love,
Than black and white.
You’ve got a way
Of making things hard
And I’ve got a way
Of putting your things out in the yard
It’s been a real long time since I seen you girl
It’s been a real long time in another world
Well I got scars to prove that I don’t need you
But my heart knows that I always do
‘Cause you and me
Can never be
We’re forever leaving
You and me
And I couldn’t tell you what I needed
But it’s hard to speak when you’re barely breathing
Does it take a broken heart to find
That you’re all I needed all this time?
You and me
We can never be
Old dust, old dirt, they’re mine and only mine
I’m just some mortal, you are so divine
You control the game without playing it right
Raise high in me what once did sink below
All dark within now radiantly glows
Come on take me back all that time ago
Our love was just one of your discarded jewels
You think back to it’s price and oh you feel a fool
But in that certain light, it looked so beautiful
A hundred thousand words could not quite explain
So I walk you to your car and we can talk it out in the rain
And we are leaving some things unsaid
And we are breathing deeper instead
Woke up next to you this morning blue
Your eyes they open so slow
To the things they did not want to see
And, lord, I’m praying that it wasn’t me
You say you love me sometimes
I say I love you way too much
You got a different way of showing things
And now knowing you is killing me
The only thing I know is true
Is when I close my eyes at night
The only thing I see is you
And I believe that we can see it through
And I’m praying that you see it too
Every time I hear you laughing, I hear you laughing
It makes me cry
Like the story of life, of your life
Is hello, goodbye
Shes only happy in the sun
Days will come when I’ll miss you some
And I’ll pray to God to have you back home
But I will not move, I’ll just watch you fly away
And I will dream a thousand scenes
Where I will watch come to me
No, but I will not move, I’ll just watch you fly away.
Late last night, I was holding you tight
And I blinked my eyes, and you were in flight.
