lyrics

There on the porch
The storm it just roared
Soaking our arms
Chilling our skin

The limbs have come down
The roads are all drowned
Our bones they will bend
Our hearts they will mend

Now we could
Lay down our blades for good
Nothing can change
the fact that we lived
And no harm
Could fall on us disarmed

I float you
Under the lampblack
Pricked with starlight
After the rains have washed us
If when. body is broken
And memory stolen
Will water tell?

Scratching a line
In carbon and time
Tracing along
The voice may have gone

But there in the black
It’s perfectly trapped
Silent as space
A visible trace

All we lack
Are ways to play it back
Knowing the start
And how it is marked
[But] in your eyes
The sentiment survives

I’m with you
Within the lampblack
Pricked with starlight
After time has lost us
If then. Bodies are broken
And memories stolen
Water will tell
