Thawing Dawn |
| No one knows you quite the way that I do |
| No one knows me, not especially you |
| Find the river and deliver my remains to it soon |
| This I request of you |
| Said a person that I knew from my sleep |
| «Savage, I’m free, but I ain’t cheap |
| The thing you wake with has a function, either beat it or bleed» |
| What could I say to them |
| Man on fire, and he’s heading for truth |
| Watched him burning as I sat on the stoop |
| A couple seconds felt like hours 'til I finally moved |
| To beat the flames from him |
| Most religion is as far from faith |
| As the sun is from the shadows it shapes |
| Well I can hardly say for certain if I’m trapped or escaped |
| When I’m away from you |
| When the summer draws the bugs in the house |
| And an acquaintance takes the form of a spouse |
| I need you wildly, as the bluejay needs a tune it can sing |
| Into the afternoon |
| Like a mother she reminds |
| With the ashes on her head |
| Dancing drunkly to the radio |
| As she welcomes back the dead |
| Twenty hours and I’m twelve in the hole |
| With thoughts of lightning as a beautiful dull |
| Across the island they are floating slow in luminous balls |
| Inviting me to cross |
| Started drinking to meet strangers and folks |
| Who’d listen to me, who’d nod when I spoke, but |
| These days when I’m thirsty I don’t mind staying home |
| Drinking away the blues |
| Started smoking to keep up with my friends |
| I learned to love the feeling when I’m breathing it in |
| But I’m a lonely lighthouse shining by the sea on a cliff |
| Dragging in solitude |
| Of all the pieces I’ve combined |
| Still the cruelest mixture yet |
| Is the softness of a thawing dawn |
| And the hardness of regret |
