Hope Springs

oh how I loved you then
from across the quiet room
we were close at the edge of the night
dressed in our sleeping clothes
twisted in awe as the voices rose
I still see your face
or maybe I just wish I did
did you lose what you couldn't find
hope springs with your back against the wall
in the dog days of our minds
did you get back to your old divinity
where your laughter's still swimming in the trees
and it's not forgotten
give me a radio
give me a host that I can sing
back into the world I was just a victim in
oh how I love you now
though the years divide us
I see you still
stars falling through your eyes again again again
could you lose what you couldn't find
hope springs with your back against the wall
in the dog days of our minds
did you get back to your old divinity
where your laughter's still swimming in the trees
we got time, oh do we got time

Zion

winter held us a while, lit our breath as it rose in spirals
in an unfurnished room this is how life calls me to you
love demands everything, quiet eyes, you're a diamond
in the grey stretch of the pier I felt my love for you
in the wild crush of the drunks I felt it there too
in the dead hum of the plane I felt my love for you
in the high chord of the birds I felt it there
will I ever be awake?
awake awake awake in zion
match your sweetest steps with mine find the silence follows there
darkest mind in the thick of it find where your own eye leads
give your life and you can give your life again and again
worried love, all those kisses you died for
don't I know, fire comes like fire goes without a warning
I'll be one, whispering secrets to the dark
to the devil if I'm lucky, to the mirror if I'm not
even in my terror mind when the gates are all wide open and the fire climbs from room to room
and the beasts are screaming and my heart is screaming and the sky is screaming and god is fast asleep and the bottle ain't no good
even then I know it's all in me and I raise my eyes to find our breath rising over the winter bed
and it is always there it is always there and it is something you could sing forever if you only knew the goddamn words
on a golden stage where the voices rise and the beer is cold and the beauty surges down through all of us tonight
raise your softest eyes to mine, find the silence follows there
darkest mind in the thick of it find what your own heart needs
give your life and you can give your life again and again

take off that dress
don't you ever look back
I waited a long long time
to make it with you
to make it with you
the night the moon the beach
your breath catching on me
I'm breathing in the light
from your lips now
from your lips now
white knuckled on the wheel
white knuckled on the wheel
wait
whose voice is that I hear
rising with yours?
i take you cause you're mine
forever this time
your teeth are on my neck
I'm ready to die
I'm ready to die tonight

Love = War
05:57
|

I got a quiver full of arrows
that'll lay you on your sweet sweet back
stayed by my quivering hand
your life between my fingers again
I always knew this is how it would end
when I think of all the pitying conversations
you must have had about me with our old friends
I just want the dark to let me in
let me cower in the corner of some old bar
with yellow teeth and wings of sin
someplace where history'll never find me again
I always knew you'd find another
to walk you through your bedroom door
find the answers on the floor
can't find the answers anymore
should have known there's no love without war
