Dry the flowers file the sheet music

Save me for the fire

I spent the day forgetting

The dream that woke me up

The garden is empty

And I still remember why

I'm so reluctant to start it again

Eternal November

Shines through the marrow of me

I never was a very good fighter

They started me young

You always were the very best lover

That I couldn't love

The years they will make

You a pretty good runner

Yeah I've been running

Around all of this time

Shot in the dark down in the shadows

Waiting for when

Yeah just waiting for

When the coast is clear

You were running around so

You'd never remember this

Fear lights a fire under you

And all you leave behind are

The smoke and the ashes

A trail of grey and blue

Blame me dear for any disaster

Oh how the kerosene ran dry

And we made our bed in

That familiar graveyard

Between the sternum and the spine

Oh darling I think that all of the answers

Went south on the backs

Of those grey winged birds

Or slipped through our finger

While we were sleeping

Waiting for when

Yeah just waiting for when the coast is clear

Along the way the light is the medecine

Along the way we search for the sun

To call us down the dark corridor

Back into the world
