lyrics

in the glow of a strobing match light
cloth drawn down to hide
all the sky in your sad eyed head
pupils open wide
came the poison then to kill you
and all that's outside
came the poison then to save you
from all that's inside

after all you will be forgiven
cleared of every shame
in the dark where the nightmares rode you
every one the same
even once in the darkened bedroom
did you call my name?
put the pictures in your pocket
for when the time came

I should rest here on the hillside
by the edge row
in the shade I can feel your absence
ache in my side
watch your love rise on the fire
with the ashes
will we see you in the colors
of the sunset?
