lyrics

After the dance
In the darkness, the breathing
The animal and its audience
The flight, the applause that evening

I've been away
I've been away too long
Too long for such a humble return
Bringing my hunger to your table, taking the comfort of your songs

I'm so scared and sorry
And a curse doesn't carry the weight
Of a kiss, dead in the distance
My darling, my dearest
My favorite, fearlessly now
No more escapes

Was it going to be
Someone would lie down on me
Lie down like the snow on the air
And be the body of the wind, or the surface of the sea

But now I'm back at feeding furnaces
Hot smoke and sandwiches
Drifting back behind the beginning
Reliving those casual promises
