Paper Hanger |
Not one motion of her gesture could I forget |
The prettiest bag lady I ever met |
Pushing her cart in the rain |
Then gathering plastic and glass |
She watched the day pass |
Not hour by hour |
But pain by pain |
If I was a basket filled with holes |
Then she was the sand I tried to hold |
And ran out behind me As I swung with some invisible hands |
I stopped believing, you start to move |
She was like wine turned to water then turned back to wine |
I stopped my leaving and the better man bloomed |
And you can pour us out and we won’t mind |
I was dead, then alive |
She was like wine turned to water and turned back to wine |
You can pour us out, we won’t mind |
A scratch around the mouth of the glass |
My life is no longer mine |
If you’re still looking for a blanket |
Sweetie, I’m sorry, I’m no sort of fabric |
But if you need a tailor |
Then take your torn shirt, and stumble up my stairs |
And mumble your pitiful prayers |
And in your tangled night’s sleep, our midnight needles go to work |
Until all comfort and fear flows in one river |
Down on the shelf by the mirror where you see yourself whole |
And it makes you shiver |
I stopped believing, you start to move |
She was like wine turned to water then turned back to wine |
I stopped my leaving and the better man bloomed |
And you can pour us out and we won’t mind |
I was dead, then alive |
She was like wine turned to water and turned back to wine |
You can pour us out, we won’t mind |
A scratch around the mouth of the glass |
My life is no longer mine |
Our lives are not our own |
Even the wind lays still |
All I felt was fire and cold |
And movement, movement |
If they ask you for a sign of the Father |
Tell them it’s movement, movement and repose |
