I Came to Your Party Dressed As a Shadow |
I came to your party dressed as a shadow and you never knew, you never knew |
I rolled through the halls like a velvet wave, as quiet as an empty stage |
I blackened your eyes and stole the light from your glass |
But in the cold calm of the morning, lay like a death-kite on your lawn |
I came to your party dressed as a shadow, without invitation, without a motive |
I parked three streets from the moonlight — the soft walk to your house on a |
silver string |
You were dancing in the backyard to a biscuit-tin beat |
I slunk between the notes, posting them off to the night |
This is symptomatic of you and me: i have jars full of your breath |
I have shelves of your words but you have nothing of me but a space where i |
would be |
