Blood of the Forgotten Song |
We talked the sun down |
From off its high ledge |
And it left us alone in the dark- |
Feeling our way |
By the thread of our veins |
That speak of our quickening hearts |
The days fall and break like promises made |
By those that claim never to change |
But lives are made whole from the ones come undone at our feet that we rearrange |
By morning there will be smoke in this room and shouts in the street before long |
Our future writ out on the walls of the past in the blood of the forgotten song |
Delores stands tall |
At her father’s arm |
His hand disappeared at her side |
Their faces opposed |
Like jacks on a card |
In a picture when she was a bride; |
And love but a ghost rode up from the shore where dreams run away with the sea |
And leave us to fade in the heat of a shade moving slowly as your eyes to me |
Oh how can you tell me |
What you’ve come to know |
Oh how will I ever shake free |
Of what I’ve assumed |
From the shape of these rooms |
About all that we ever might be? |
There’s nothing divine in the marking of time for it slips every frame we intend |
A river above us, it laughs at and loves us, confusing our beginnings and ends |
