[00:16] |
October's got those orange eyes |
[00:19] |
But somehow I still lost sight |
[00:23] |
When you lifted the lid off of my pumpkin head |
[00:27] |
And kissed me goodnight |
[00:30] |
She could be a thorn in my side |
[00:33] |
We never quite broke that horse |
[00:38] |
She slept in the cul-de-sac rye |
[00:41] |
Seven miles from my front porch |
[01:00] |
Bundle up and come with me now |
[01:03] |
Down the road where to the burned down barn |
[01:07] |
We could make a blanket of coats |
[01:10] |
And breathe our souls into the neighbor's front lawn |
[01:14] |
But, oh god, that look in your eye |
[01:17] |
Trouble that does not search words |
[01:22] |
It sprung from the biblical vine and |
[01:25] |
Awaiting to return to the dirt |
[01:43] |
The stitches in your winter clothes |
[01:47] |
Your cello bows |
[01:48] |
We stole your hair to make them |
[01:50] |
We're sorry for the iron shoes |
[01:54] |
We nailed to you |
[01:56] |
And stuck you in the rain |
[01:58] |
And then you sprinted away |
[02:00] |
Sprinted away to where I don't know |
[02:05] |
God's moving in your bloodstream |
[02:08] |
Where the cross beats aren't so slow |
[02:13] |
|
[02:42] |
You swept all the red from my cheeks |
[02:46] |
I didn't hear you come back inside |
[02:50] |
I light up the gas in the den |
[02:53] |
And stand there in the thin winter light |
[02:57] |
But, oh god, that curve in your spine |
[03:00] |
A question mark, a doctor's sigh |
[03:04] |
Was framed by the windowsill |
[03:07] |
And you saw something I did not in that night |
[03:15] |
You saw something I did not in that night |
[03:25] |
The stitches in your winter clothes |
[03:29] |
Your cello bows |
[03:31] |
We stole your hair to make them |
[03:33] |
We're sorry for the iron shoes |
[03:36] |
We nailed to you |
[03:38] |
And stuck you in the rain |
[03:41] |
And then you sprinted away |
[03:43] |
Sprinted away to where I don't know |
[03:48] |
God's moving in your bloodstream |
[03:51] |
Where the cross beats aren't so slow |
[03:55] |
God's moving in your bloodstream |
[03:58] |
Where the cross beats aren't so slow... |
