and if you didnt know
i knew
and i took
and i made the queen
and saved the forest
her little child runs past me
and the child runs from NY

touch burn and fire away
if i didnt think
this poison
would clear it
tear it away
Ide wait all night
for the snow
the wine
the snow
the pouring down of everything
i pulled you out of the snow
so many damn times

precious things
he sleeps
he steps around my water
could drain me anyday
could be the man
that steals all the ugly things
it feels
it comes
up my throat
and follows me when i follow him
to sleep

slipping siren
december chills
and takes lives
children play
the lights go up
and the light dies out
the greatest woman ive ever known
the greatest loss on the day she held me
Speak the wind
speak those laughing sounds
she came when she couldnt
when she shouldnt
she came
even when God was dead.
those days
those long days
she believed
she always believed ide make
those laughing sounds
around
the corner of broken land and wind
on the step i almost slipped
shes here. in every cryin scream
shes here. when the world dies upon her shoulders
and it burns
all the way
down.
shes always giving me the keys
the motions
if she could only draw the map
from heaven.

Ide surely follow it.
ide surely drink from it
see me
waving goodbye
to all the poison
goodbye my love
my sweet cherry street
my sweeeeet darling hands
she says let go
