The Cripple Lilies

Carnations
If carnations heal my heartI'll collect the pollenand grow flowers inthe furrow of your browI'll take the words you sayand forget the sorrowlike ghosts blowing through me'cause that's just what you do to meIn spite of all this gravityI'll hoist you to my shouldersLike a dirge without a soundI'll walk you through the endingThe cool earth on your feetsoon you'll find it soothingAnd I'll paint behind your eyelidsa dream of childhoodJust like everything that is sownyou wake with the sun in your eyesChance whispers in sweet breathand angels breathing down your neckSorrow won't save me this timeSongtexteIn silence I've put awaymy labor and my leisureand let this rust run through meDecay can be soothingFalse starts and maladiesthey rest between my shouldersA void pulling at the seamstoo silver for a stitchAnd just like all that is sownyou wake with the sun in your eyesStrange whispers in sweet breathangels breathing down your neckSorrow won't save me this timeThis unwinding coat of clayis fallow anywayAnd I'll be waitingI'll be waitingdeep into the fall for a momentwhen I hear that cold callSpring rushes move my souland mum petals fall Aus Songtexte Mania
