lyrics

I know what they stole
from you,
how they sodomized your
youth
I know they left the
faucets dripping
kept the fixtures in their
pockets.
The house gets cold in
the lonely months,
but you can’t let the pipes burst.
I remember when they shattered the snow globe
and crushed the ballerinas.
I know that all they left you with
are shards of broken glass,
but you don’t have to cut me,
‘cos I was there, as well.
So don’t you think for one second
I don’t understand.
I know that hiding under the covers, never did make them
go away,
the same monsters that claw at your bed
have visited mine, too.
And I know you think Jim Beam is your closest friend,
but I promise you,
he does not love you the way I do.
So, stop clinging to that bottle
Take my hand instead
We’ll go out into the fog together
‘cos I know--
I know!
When the morning brume rises
the White Horses are coming for you,
and I hope that chariot--
Swings low- that sweet chariot- when it’s coming for- to
carry you home- swing
So low.
So you only have to take
one
more
step,
and we’ll meet there in the clearing,
where the honeysuckle sing
and the hummingbirds dance
Don’t you remember?
