**I’m on the graveyard shift again
Quite the keeper of you**
*Just a light year from us
We’ve been trading our crimes*
**The smoke in the air
Couldn't hide my shame**
*I'm running from nothing, no thoughts in my mind
Oh my heart was all black*
**I took the dust of a long sleepless night
And confessed I tarnished the gold**
*The wind took your clothes
Just walking the sidewalks all covered in rain*
**Love got into one of your stories again
The snow blowing ‘round your hands**
*While we ache to come home somehow
We watched her smoking autumn in the street*
**Words mean more at night
From the corners of my room**
*Please read them by the light of the moon
I'm a shot through the dark scaring the crows*
**I wish I could leave my bones and my skin
I’ll let my hunger take me there**
*Lonely is a sick hound digging for bones
If it weren't for second chances, we'd all be alone*
**They all know I’m a liar
They just laugh wickedly as I burn her down**
*And those broken-hearted lovers
They got nothing on me*
**She's a half-written poem
Spread out across the Great Divide**
*The dark had wooden teeth that broke up the thin air
And I swallowed the sun and screamed and wailed*
**When we were just larkspur and leaves
Back when we were buried jewels ‘neath the trees**
*And all fire and flames took all we trust
We were all silver and stone*
**And I traded all my thoughts in
For an hour of sleep in the snow**
*Sweet morphine curls a smile when the sadness hits
She's whispering so softly I can hear it all*
**Won't you come to my house tonight
I got this window that looks out to Orion**
*The Universe is wounded beautiful
I sent her my warmth and my silence*
**Lit up every campfire I found out in the dark
I quit counting stars that night in the cold**
*Kiss me so I remember how
We'll turn these sorrows into strangers*
**Learned the language of the Mockingbird
She took and twisted all my words**
*With winter trees and hungry wolves
In your past like a lover can be drowning water*
**Walking proud and lonesome now
Oh I'm yearning for the pack**
*Broken bottles shine just like stars
Seeing those golden oaks turn to timber*
**The daughter of the Northern Lights
Finds my face with her fingertips**
*Now we are rust coloured stones.
You’ll love her till it all goes dark*
**Come undone under the lion’s thorns
And I’m saving all my sleep for another life**
*Wished I could follow a hidden moon eight stories high.
Will we ever fall?*
***Ah what a shame
This stolen song was never meant to last***
