Well I dreamt last night you were makin' love
 To a bird you swore you'd given up oh
 How I woke up shakin' 
 The wolves kept watch on the wind outside
 I kept my eyes towards the wooden sky oh
 There would be no escaping
 
 And the rent we'd sworn would be enough
 To bind a love that had somehow fallen short
 It was now overdue
 I held your breath trying to get you high
 Heard your lover's song as it filled the night
 I fired two into the sky and kept one for you oh
 
 The fire burned bright right above our bed
 Kept us up all night trying to make amends
 Oh child your call is in vain and I'm onto you
 I awoke to find that the time had come
 To leave behind this mess that we once called home
 Well tonight this child of god will be forced to choose oh
 
 It was at the sight of the hands of the working man
 Outside my window and a voice in my head spoke
 Of making plans so clear and simple
 I kept one for you.
