 So They Say » Lyrics [+ Lisätä +] |
1. _ If I May
Dog's nails tap the kitchen floor
Eddies of laughter swirl through the barred door
I'm writing in the dark and cannot see the letters
I'm writing in the dark and cannot see the letters
If I may then I might
If only you were here with me tonight
Outside is a garden of buildings
Inside shes stares at herself in the mirror
Mesmerized by the light in her blue-green eyes
She smokes and sings along with the radio
If I may then I might
If only you were here with me tonight
Dog's teeth click
Headlights slide down the walls
While sleep makes me a deal I cannot refuse
I think of your absence, your sharp jaw
The way your collarbone surfaces under your skin
If I may then I might
If only you were here with me tonight

2. _ Burning the River
His lips don't move
But still he speaks
His dark green eyes
Stare at me
He tells me of his Papa
Working on the railway
Blowing his harmonica
In the morning
I'm Checkin' in, checkin' out
Feeling loved, filling out
Deeper fish, deeper lungs
Deeper words for the deeper tongue
He says, I'm telling you
I'm burning the river
So I go home
A girl lies in my bed
I hold her hipbone
And pull her closer
I put her cold hands
Between my thighs
Stare out the window
Into a darkening sky
I'm Checkin' in, checkin' out
Feeling loved, filling out
Deeper fish, deeper lungs
Deeper words for the deeper tongue
She says, I'm telling you
I'm burning the river
She's left only
Her body for me
I lie here feeling her hair
Waiting for sleep
In the early hours of night
I'm Checkin' in, checkin' out
Feeling loved, filling out
Deeper fish, deeper lungs
Deeper words for the deeper tongue
I say, I'm telling you
I'm burning the river

3. _ Carry You
Green river flows
Like grass melting
Later it will run black
Down its track
Into an ocean
She stands on the bridge
Dim light on her back
Someday
I will carry you
I want to float higher
Above waves of electric wires
Stare down onto the street
See a drunk with kiln-glazed eyes
Telling me about the girl I should meet
Someday
I will carry you

4. _ So They Say
They say the stars are grave markers
And the movement of the sun is a flare in slow motion
They say the heart is a spider in a web of blood
And the brain is a coral reef
They say shadows of strangers never lie next to each other
And always dissolve in the morning
They say the moon will break into pieces
And fall into the ocean
They say not to believe the wind carries our thoughts around
Yet for the boy, earth is the blue stone in his hand
He can fly through pink thunder and dance in blueberry barrens
He says rivers are gliding mirrors carrying him up and down stream
To places where the passing world is not what they say,
But what he dreams

5. _ Auburndale
Well it's another day in Auburndale
I don't want to hear you cry or wail
I live a life of hunt and run
Driving around with my shotgun
There are lions by the lakeside
And shadows in the trees
Fat lady lies in the sand
Whistles with the breeze
Let the fireman sleep in the sun
'Cause there's fire in his dreams
You could walk around your neighborhood
While the doves circle above
Well it's another day in Auburndale
I don't want to hear you cry or wail
I live a life of hunt and run
Driving around with my shotgun
So ride your lion into the lake
And wade in the flames of the water
Watch the pines become kindling
For the sun's evening fire
