lyrics

lover, when you came to me
(here is the truth, here is your hard proof)
with starfire burning through the trees
(aquarius moon, spin me in your loom)
hunted by the winter night
(pockets of rain, pockets for your change)
scorpio shining in the sky
(sinners and saints, waiting for late trains)

sent your letters through the storm
(horses within, saddle the tradewind)
language lost without a form
(keeper of keys, battle the high seas)
painted your name across the bow
(passion is found, passion is spellbound)
hurricane lamps flickered out
(heart is a flame, hot.)

dustbowls of our love broke
where the creek rose
we were skipping stones

lover, when you called a truce
(honey in hives, secrets in her eyes)
asked midnight what he could do
(ritualize, sharpen the dark knife)
did he cover up the truth
(cleaning a kill, fire the lime kiln)
leaving us room for a ruse?
(lingering guilt, bring to a standstill)

galleon sails full of lust
(seeker of light, seeking the lighthouse)
alaska turned me to rust
(queen of the hive, deep in the hideout)
beeswax heart on my sleeve
(give me a sign, throw me a lifeline)
kerosene tears down your cheek
(shying away, shy.)

dustbowls of our love broke
where the creek rose
we were skipping stones
