lyrics

By the laws of loss and love
I’ll bide my time in the bed we shared
And I’ll hem you into the slowest song
To the beat of your shaky steps

When you go
It feels wrong
But it sounds like singing

Once your mind’s broken like bread
And your tongue’s dried up like grain
I’ll fold you inside my arms
And I’ll speak to you just in case
Tell you I will be yours and yours alone
I won’t adhere to the rushing wind
I won’t adhere to your heart like a torn bass drum
I won’t adhere to your hissing breath

When you go
It feels like snow
But it sounds like singing

So I’ll wait for the seas to part
For the dust to speak
For the city to glow
Silver in its streets
Where the lost will reign
Where the black clouds break
Where the wronged will step
On the heads of state
And in that bursting breath
In that last refrain
Of a symphony
You’ll come back again

It’ll sound like singing
