1
I want to leave this forsaken place
2
Where the wind doesn't reach the lines in my face
3
And the air cannot breathe any dust out of me
4
Ears burn when you speak and good hearts bleed
5
In need
6
In need of being freed
7
How long has it been since you touched and made me?
8
How near it was then when we were still them?
9
That blue moon about broke her neck jealously
10
Just to watch the two new kids swim
11
Carefully
12
We must clean the dust from these things carefully
13
And the ground where we lay it was softer in those days
14
And the words on our tongues were not bitter but young
15
So I ate from between your fingers and prayed
16
You would not soon forget me when I was gone
17
Don't leave me
18
I'll bury my memories if you leave
19
Now the hour it turns and begins to fold
20
While the thieves they scatter and hide their gold
21
They shake their sand to cover their tracks
22
And burn all of their old and yellowed maps
23
History
24
Everything that was mine is lost behind in history
25
In the darkness I've stumbled and fallen down troubled
26
And when I put my two palms together I didn't feel any better
27
I wish I was good at knocking on wood
28
But I know I will never be saved or healed
29
How does it feel
30
To be a shell in a crowd without a cloud?
31
But were there a bridge I could cross to all the distance I've lost
32
I wouldn't need these canned words or this caged melody
33
I would simply return to where a good heart burns
34
And the wind bends the trees scattering leaves
35
In need
36
In need of being freed
