Leaning |
| I can’t stay here in my room |
| I can’t hold my own against the heavy lean |
| Of your perfume; |
| That tries to keep your pillow down and low |
| Across my face |
| As if what lingers here of you could |
| Take my breath yet still be my saving grace |
| Lover, if you rise |
| Lover, if you go |
| Lover, if you rise |
| Lover, if you go |
| There are plenty who would just as soon |
| Settle all their debt with blond |
| Beneath a whoring moon that answers |
| Every prayer for rain with flood; |
| And there will always be one more ready |
| Savior standing tall |
| Waving from the tower |
| That looks from here like |
| It will sway and fall |
| Lover, if you rise… |
| I’ve cut back your roses just to give myself a day |
| Free of vulgar beauties that I know |
| Will fade away; |
| The scene is like a circus chasing |
| Winners out of town |
| Leaving here a wet street of mirror |
| And I won’t dare look down |
| Lover, if you rise… |
| In my room, things can change any hour |
| That I’m gone |
| Something will be an a shelf that I know I left |
| Scattered and undone; |
| One Small thing will be gone |
| Or will be moved just so |
| The smallest thing, after you, will be changed |
| I know, I know, I know |
| Lover, if you rise… |
