Climbed out the window and stared at the stars
|
But the moment I wanted had already passed
|
Lost in the silence, blessed by the night
|
Dreamed I saw soldiers, they were all dressed in white
|
All dressed in white
|
|
Well, the summer came late so I slept here for days
|
'Til winter was over and my heart could be saved
|
I walked for a lifetime and I climbed in a hole
|
She had breasts on the outside, she had breath in her soul
|
Death in her soul
|
Placed in a bottle and flung out to sea
|
I was stung by the thought that the ship was now me
|
Lost in the silence, blessed by the night
|
I dreamed I saw soldiers, they were all dressed in white
|
All dressed in white
|
|
A fellow by nature, I fell for a way
|
That would shake me all over and spin me around
|
Twisted my feelings 'til I nearly drowned
|
It was love at first sight, the first time around
|
Time around
|
|
We stared at the walls 'til we lost all the dawn
|
Waiting for words I said, "I've been cursed by your love"
|
Crying for shame so what has become of our love
|
Of our love?
|
|
Now all the neighbors have stolen my stash
|
I write poems about death, I ain't finished one yet
|
Lost in the silence, blessed by the night
|
I dreamed I saw soldiers, they were all dressed in white
|
All dressed in white
|
