|
The fog rolls on in from the sea |
|
Like a curtain draped from the bolts of heaven |
|
And out here the moon burns through the night |
|
Like the eyes of strays caught in headlights |
|
And I hear you hum a song I'd written |
|
And the condensation collects on my feet |
|
And my lungs contract as the curtain thickens |
|
And I hear you say you'd like to see what's down beneath the violent blue |
|
And as you say those words my legs turn leaden |
|
And your teeth are two white smears that cut the gray |
|
Like light behind the clouds |
|
And my heart is flapping like a bird that's trapped inside a wire cage |
|
I hear you laughing, saying: |
|
"Darlin', there's no need to fear. You know how to swim." |
|
Well, let's see how well I do |
|
This blue ain't blue |
|
It's velvet black |
|
A crooked mirror sky |
|
And we hum like stars |
|
And flicker off into the blank and void |
|
I feel your limbs; they pull me down |
|
I feel your limbs; they pull me down |
|
And now we're too far gone |
|
And won't ever be found |
