|
We get down from the highway where I have been sent to keep you from resting. |
|
You're the one in the burning house. |
|
We get down to the basement where the music they are making, accompanies the chasing. |
|
We're the ones in the burning house. |
|
Not a fire, a light that surrounds the sort of heat when something's begun. |
|
Before this I felt with no one. |
|
We get down to a sunrise, when all the air has passed from your lungs into mine. |
|
And life hangs like a cloud in the sky. |
|
We get up and get angry when the light comes early but misses us entirely. |
|
Can we stretch the nights of our lives into a shade that softens the light? |
|
As the moon is ate by the sun. |
|
Before this I saw with no one. |
|
If I could, I'd make up a world as foggy as I feel, and tender as a nerve. |
|
The glass of our heads, upon which we stood, and said if I could I'd break these doubting words in your head |
|
I would break this doubting world from our head. |
|
If I could, I would tear this love from no one. |
