Epiphanies or revelationsToo tired to labelThe fix to your situationAh, but you saw the skyToday and tomorrowYou love me when I'm goneBut don't youRun off too far, thoughIt's nice toHave someone to missSurprise me once, show me you know meIf I was mistaken, I'm sorryI ain't looking to lastWhere the sidewalk fixtures'Shadows are castAs rosebush songs paint me picturesSuch sterling mixtures of gloryI just want a love that will stay when I turnMy back to Saint Lawrence, to see whatTorrents I can burnSo my love will learn that I love herSurprise me once, show me you know meIf I was mistaken, I'm sorrySongtexteAt the bottom of Dollar Lake is an old truckAnd the boards from the bar where my folks first got drunkAnd all kinds of litter that flickered and then sunkTo the shallows of our town's lagoonWhere I sayHow could you love meWhen I am so frightenedBy the phantoms of my mind and how they are tightenedAround all that I find in this world that's brightenedBy a magic so tragic each day?Aw, but love don't exist neath the realest of coffinsAnd real ain't a place that we'll have to dwell oftenEpiphanies will tumble and soften tillLove's all that's left to be foundSurprise me once, show me you know meIf I was mistaken, I'm sorryIt's the epitomes of revelationsYou'll all choose the latterBut be so much gladderWith your salvation in the sandAnd the fear of sincerity is a disgraceThe shadows of your mind should not take the placeWhen the turquoise that you find is the kind of traceThat binds to the skinInside and withinThe light that shines behind your faceOur heads are dead in the dread of tomorrowAnd when the sky clears our fears will be hollowYour suburbs are seasons darkening and sullenThe harbors are fleeting, the waters are swollenThe theater's erupting, the midway is cavingThe streets all connect in a way that needs savingThe parking lot trees are bending and rottenAnd so you are too for the love that you've gottenAnd forgottenEpiphaniesYou've forgotten Aus Songtexte Mania
