|
Alas, our love is gone |
|
At least I don't where it is |
|
I know I lost it in my song once |
|
But I thought I found it in your kiss |
|
So I went and had my skull cleaned |
|
They gave me a suitcase for my rage |
|
And a balloon to hold my steam |
|
And a tightrope to embrace |
|
Now I know how to live alone |
|
In a crowd or in your arms |
|
But I don't know how to be alive |
|
In the mirror or at your side |
|
"It's not so easy," said the rain |
|
"You want the wound but not the pain |
|
To be forgiven but not betrayed |
|
To stand naked and unashamed |
|
It's not so easy," said the rain |
|
Give me your tongue |
|
Don't say a word |
|
Give me your hunger and your pride |
|
I'll give you the song, the mockingbird |
|
I'll give you the color of the sky |
