Lighthouse |
Oh, my dear |
I’ve swallowed the moon |
And left it dark like a ring |
Burned on a spoon |
But now all the stars |
They fall around you |
And land at your feet |
To light up the room |
The sign of the times |
The rules of the road |
And our coat of arms all scream |
That mercy gets old |
But your secret heart |
As still as bloom |
Waits at the door |
To light up the room |
Your bed is a drift |
It’s come loose from the floor |
The dead float up like dreams |
I push them back with my arm like an oar |
But your face is alive |
Like a nickel cartoon |
Shown on the wall |
To light up the room |
The siren on top |
Of the library wall |
The stairs that give way |
At the end of the hall; |
The pawnshop pavilion |
The newspaper saloon |
All burn in your wake |
And light up the room |
