Paper-Hanger
(专辑: Catch For Us The Foxes - 2004)
And not one motion 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. I
was a
basket filled with holes, and she was the
sand I
tried to hold That ran out behind me as I
swung with some invisible hand. 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 then turned back to wine; You can pour us out, we won't mind, As scratch around the
mouth of the
glass, "My life is no longer mine." And 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, stumble up my stairs, And mumble your pitiful prayers and in your tangled, knotted sleep, Our midnight needles go to work until all comfort and fear flows in one river Down in the
shop 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 then turned back to wine; You can pour us out, we won't mind, As scratch around the
mouth of the
glass, "Our lives our not our own." Even the
wind lay still, Our essence was fire and cold and movement, movement... Oh, if they ask you for the
sign of the
father in you, Tell them it's movement, movement, movement and... repose.
