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. |
