lyrics

The sky is the only roof left—
since I left you, went out,
to this city’s endless cement.

There’s a burn mark on the rug
where you slept. Don’t worry love,
fire isn’t something I forget—I forget.

I’ve gone out in the weather for awhile,
for I can be such weather myself.
I’ll huff and puff in a storm-sunk field
so I wont blow your house down.

Shadows won’t blow away in the wind—
I think matches give up on themselves.
Stars disappear. Sometimes I can hear
the city’s storm bells— I want you—
I still want you.

I’ve cried on chest hair.
I’ve cried on a wall’s wet paint.
I’ve cried so much, I’ve been told off by the rain.
She said “that’s my job, you’ve got yours to do—“
to make my way back home to you.
