Sharpest Blade Lyrics

	There was a time
	I could sleep anywhere—
	My feet on a chair,
	My heart in the woods;
	But love was aloof,
	Just a beggar for tips
	A mime on whose lips
	No promises stood
	But you can cut me quick
	In the light of the shade,
	With the edge of the green
	Of the yard's sharpest blade;
	When nothing I knew
	Was all that it seemed
	I still dreamed
	Of a love to outlive us
	I still prayed
	That this night would outlast us
	And redeem some small thing
	Far beyond me
	Blossoms begin
	Like the tip of a spear,
	Or the curve of a tear
	From a soldier who weeps;
	Seducing the guard
	Of lost years falling by—
	As flowers to lie
	On the dead feigning sleep
	But you cut me quick
	In the light of the shade,
	On the edge of the green
	Of the yard's dark parade;
	When nothing we knew
	Was all that it seemed
	I still dreamed
	Of a love to outlive us
	I still prayed
	That this night would forgive us
	And redeem some small thing
	Far beyond me
	But you cut me quick
	In the light of the shade,
	On the edge of the green
	Of the yard's sharpest blade;
	When nothing we knew
	Was all that it seemed
	I still dreamed
	Of a love to outlive us
	I still prayed
	That this night will convince us
	And redeem some small thing
	Far beyond me

	There was a time
	I could sleep anywhere shy shy
	My feet on a chair,
	My heart in the woods
	But love was aloof,
	Just a beggar for tips
	A mime on whose lips
	No promises stood
	But you can cut me quick
	In the light of the shade,
	With the edge of the green
	Of the yard' s sharpest blade
	When nothing I knew
	Was all that it seemed
	I still dreamed
	Of a love to outlive us
	I still prayed
	That this night would outlast us
	And redeem some small thing
	Far beyond me
	Blossoms begin
	Like the tip of a spear,
	Or the curve of a tear
	From a soldier who weeps
	Seducing the guard
	Of lost years falling by shy shy
	As flowers to lie
	On the dead feigning sleep
	But you cut me quick
	In the light of the shade,
	On the edge of the green
	Of the yard' s dark parade
	When nothing we knew
	Was all that it seemed
	I still dreamed
	Of a love to outlive us
	I still prayed
	That this night would forgive us
	And redeem some small thing
	Far beyond me
	But you cut me quick
	In the light of the shade,
	On the edge of the green
	Of the yard' s sharpest blade
	When nothing we knew
	Was all that it seemed
	I still dreamed
	Of a love to outlive us
	I still prayed
	That this night will convince us
	And redeem some small thing
	Far beyond me

	There was a time
	I could sleep anywhere shy shy
	My feet on a chair,
	My heart in the woods
	But love was aloof,
	Just a beggar for tips

	That this night will convince us
	And redeem some small thing
	Far beyond me
