The Wild Kindness |
I wrote a letter to a wildflower |
On a classic nitrogen afternoon |
Some power that hardly looked like power |
Said I’m only perfect in an empty room |
Four dogs in the distance |
Each stands for a kindness |
Bluebirds lodged in an evergreen altar |
I’m gonna shine out in the wild silence |
I’m gonna shine out in the wild silence |
I’m gonna shine out in the wild silence |
And spurn the sin of giving in |
Oil paintings of x-rated picnics |
Behind the walls of medication I’m free |
Every leaf in a compact mirror |
Hits a target that we can’t see |
Grass grows in the icebox |
The year ends in the next room |
It is autumn and my camouflage is dying |
Instead of time there will be lateness |
Instead of time there will be lateness |
Instead of time there will be lateness |
And let forever be delayed |
I dyed my hair in a motel void |
Met the coroner at the Dreamgate Frontier |
He took my hand, said «I'll help you, boy |
If you really want to disappear» |
Four dogs in the distance |
Each stands for a kindness |
Bluebirds lodged in an evergreen altar |
I’m gonna shine out in the wild kindness |
I’m gonna shine out in the wild kindness |
I’m gonna shine out in the wild kindness |
And hold the world to its word |
