Lyrics The Calling - The Amazing Devil

The Calling

Back then I was dauntless
And dawn could never know
And my weakness made me weep less
Than I would ever show you
I’d burn so bright it blinded
Now I know that light guided me here
I walked into the river
To wring those embers from my broken heart and broken liver
You’ll never get your dinner if you don’t learn how to get along
And a fox somewhere is hiding
That light I thought was blinding brought me here
I look into the water
And see a face I don’t understand
W’re both unwanted daughters
But thre’s more than water in these autumn hands
I look into the water and see a face I don’t recognise
Who’s this /Who are you
What changed I ask
So strange, she replies
Shoulder the sky
Open those eyes
There’s a kind of calling
Calling
/I can’t wait to show you
How much I know you can be
Just let the rain come
Let the rain come down, down, darling
Can’t you hear it howling you
It’s calling, calling
Back then I wasn’t hopeful
But now my ink’s blood red not black
And I’ll blink like ripping envelopes
In the hopes that you’ll write back
And on the banks of that river
I shiver as a fox stands frozen
And I close them, I close them, I close my eyes
‘Cos I’m between that just one more and drank too much again
And I promise you I’ll write I love you
With my fingers on your sleeping hand
And when that fox howls I’ll howl with it
In it’s cries I’ll find an end
And when I think I’m fine you’ll visit
And then you happen to me, you happen to me all over again
In the waters I see a face I don’t want look back
Do you like my dress, it’s got pockets
The rocks beneath my feet begin to crack
Oh I look into the waters
Long ago that current caught us and we tried
I tried I really fucking tried
But the rain kept coming down
I watch that woman drown
Shoulder the sky
Open those eyes
There’s a kind of calling
Calling
/I can’t wait to show you
How much I know you can be
Just let the rain come
Let the rain come down, down, darling
Can’t you hear it howling you
It’s calling, calling
In the rainfall
