lyrics

You were Mozart
And I was Gershwin
Recreating what went before him
In the silence
In the grace notes
You moved into the tune

But the dead men
Came and taught you
Words of stone
And crumbling mortar
They taught you reasons
They taught you to be afraid
To be ashamed

I found a golden wind
And we’ll ride it until the end
Put your heart in my open hands
I’ll be keeping it blood red
I’ll be a light in this great abyss

Oh my father
Oh my father
Oh the heroin
In my water
The babies crying
Into the face of the flames
They’d be crying again today

I found a magic pill
In Jerusalem, on that desolate hill
I know it’s a bitter doubt
But I’ll wrestle it
Till it’s blood on my brow
Till I’m turned inside out

As our sympathies
Wailed and wandered
As our firm beliefs
Brayed and bartered
The water we wept into
Rose and parted
And you walked through

I found a leaving note

On the dresser
Forty fathoms below
It said I’m sorry
I’ve got to go
It’s impossible
To call a sleeping dragon
Your only home
For long
