1
A sliver chalk
2
Across the blue
3
Lord knows I don't know what
4
The hell's the use of the mid-day moon
5
You came to my arms
6
Too god damn soon
7
Lord knows I don't know what
8
To do with you and the mid-day moon
9
This is just to say
10
They've taken everything away
11
Every step we made fit into 6 trucks, pick ups, drawing dust above the driveway
12
The muddy cavalcade came at half past eight collecting everything in that grassy bank
13
And every trace of you, was taken too, and what was once a womb is just a hollow room.
14
It was a windy day
15
That kind that makes me hate L.A.
16
Cause god gave them a perfect sun and they think gangs and smog were hardly a fair trade
17
And they don't breathe or flinch, or even blink at how the green will shift
18
when the wind parades across the meager ridge and kicks the weeds a bit to make seem as if the lea is a sea of waves.
19
They say you can't cheat death
20
Maybe it's just a shortness of breath
21
or no pains in your chest
22
Just a disease we agree that we ain't cured yet
23
Forgive me dear
24
I never thought that we'd end up here
25
From "Sweet dreams" whispered in your ear
26
Before a long night's sleep so cold and clear.
27
[CHORUS]
28
I've been told that when we die
29
And we pass to the other side
30
There is no bright light
31
That death is just a pasture gate
32
That opens by lifting a plank
33
To just more life
34
I met an old man, sun tan, provided by jesus and the light that passed through stain glassed pieces, he clutched a rosary flat to his chest, and confessed he wasn't ready for death.
35
I seen an iron eyed firefly femme fatale too vain to explain how her hair fell out, lusting for the next thing to erase her shame, she said "I don't want to live forever, but I'm scared to fade away".
36
This is how they came to me one at a time, pilgrims to my building on the cemetery grounds, all they wanted was an answer and I could never let "˜em down"¦I couldn't promise them forever but I could buy a lot of time.
37
And you Jeanvieve, well you were the straw, whispering your wishes in cotton Québéois.
38
I wonder the maker ever felt he botched the flock, but never had the mettle to make the world stop?
39
