Saline

Last night I dreamt we were wet
and I drank clear water from your flesh
and that thirst we've had since birth
was finally quenched.
So baby don't cry on the floor,
your tears mean more to me than gold.
If the truth be told,
I want to make a man bleed
for each drop of saline.
I need you to know
yes I want to take you home
'cause I want to watch
as your joy unfolds.
You're probably right.
This don't need to last another night.
You're probably right,
let's not hurt ourselves this time.
love is like knives
love is like knives
love is like knives
I need you to know
that yes I want to take you home
because I want to watch
as your joy unfolds.
I know that I am a sentimental fool.
I know that I am a simple-minded fool.
But your heart was bruised by
people that were cruel
honey, people are cruel.
people are cruel
people are cruel
darling know that
people are cruel
people are cruel
people are cruel.

For one month
I could not sleep, eat, or sing
i could not pray to my gods
you don't know how awful I was
Sorrow stalks me like a beast in the night
and it's wearing your eyes all the time
why do they cast the same light?
You carry me home
you carry me hence
if I'm not what you want
tell me now.
You carry me home
you carry me hence
if I'm not what you want
say it now.
I must say
my faith has been shaken
because you were grace to me
that river which joins to the sea
you carry me home
you carry me hence
if I'm not what you want
tell me now
you carry me home
you carry me hence
if I'm not what you want
say it now.
just love me in
your sweet and simple way
in the summer you're my shade
in the summer you're my shade
Just love me in
your sweet and simple way
in the summer you're my shade
I worship every day.

your mother was right
I do not belong
a brand new book
in a forgotten tongue
you were on fire
yet you called me the sun
I stood stone still for an hour
and thought 'what have I done?
God, what have I done?'
I know that I
should have swallowed my pride
I know that I
I should have called just
one more time
It's the last thing I'll hear
It's the last thing I'll hear
but I know it's right
it's that nothing has changed
no nothing has changed
and you're still just fine
we went to the bay
there was sun in your eyes
the way you whispered my name
made me know you were mine
I've got all these grey hairs
not yet an adult
I know they're from you
I just don't tell anyone
I don't tell anyone
I know that I
should have swallowed my pride
I know that I
I should have called just
one more time
It's the last thing I'll hear
It's the last thing I'll hear
but I know it's right
it's that nothing has changed
no nothing has changed
and you're still just fine.

What is the sound of paradise lost?
An empty house with holes in the wall.
What was it like in heaven's fall?
Nothing but silence and darkness.
Where are you now
when I need you?
You cast me out when
I wanted to
Rise up singing
rise up singing.
The devil is a friend of mine
we talk together from time to time
he's really not the party type
he keeps himself to himself and waits.
Where are you now
when I need you?
You cast me out when
I wanted to
Rise up singing
rise up singing.
I was the son of the morning.
I was the star of the dawning.
I was to rule in heaven.
they clipped my wings
they cast me down.
I was the son of the morning.
I was the star of the dawning.
I was to rule in heaven.
they clipped my wings
they cast me down.
they gave me hooves
they cast me out.
At least I know
at least I've got
my own shadow
my own two hands
At least I know
at least I know
I'd rather rule in hell
than be a slave in heaven.
I was the son of the morning.
I was the star of the dawning.
I was to rule in heaven.
they clipped my wings
they cast me down.
I was the son of the morning.
I was the star of the dawning.
I was to rule in heaven.
they clipped my wings
they cast me down.
they gave me hooves
they cast me out.
