lyrics

our caustic minds were windowpanes
our fingers flicking cellophane
the fragile fantasies we wove
the thoughts like falling dominoes
the blackbird's song so sweet did call
its whistled edge and subtle fall
its final violence burnt insane
our minds were wilted windowpanes

we told ourselves the weather would clear
but I washed the rain down with warm beer
so I'm counting days and blowing lines
hoping what's ahead is better
than what I left behind

carousels full of empty shells
and a place drowned in the snow
see some train tracks sinking
in the city light thinking
that I've got no place to go

call again now falling to a time
when the weather wasn't cold
to a place where I don't feel old
to a place where I don't feel
old

I've got bruises reaching head to toe
yeah love will get you far, but

I'll lick my wounds with bitterness
and hope that they don't scar
I'll take apart the scarf you wove
with thread from idle hearts
and weave a noose of marigold
no you have done your part
but fall brought air
that filled my lungs
and sealed this leaky heart
