** Double asterisk where corrections were made. Skies went dark, got hard to see my body all stretched out Territory to touch and make a path to lead you down If I could hold the wildest winds from blasting through my house Then I could shine a beacon whether it floats fine, yes, or drowns But there was no heat it alll had been extinguished, snuffed right out That was not the way I meant to disappoint the crowd If you want my center, please, don't slice so much around And if you won't be having me, watch the sorrow shape my mouth And you don't want to hurt me But you don't want to need me So how can you receive me? Take a seat don't grieving be we'll settle this all out Then one by one, I'll take these from the caverns of my mouth The teeth who mash and teeth who make my tender muscles shout A last goodbye to lose what once I'd never known without And in my mind the river runs a straight line through the town Never bending only sending stuff from north to south Under bridges, fishes wear the currents like a gown And I will swallow crookedness, not let it drag me down Afraid that if I cut you loose** you'd never again want me to Embrace you in your solitude Though in our eyes we both still find the perfect place to rest We'll unfold wings and fly awhile** before the next caress The atmosphere will hold us dear and teach us how it's best To both feel free and satisfied, our two souls will be blessed Before my eyes the fireflies they make the night sky low Captured by the sounds** of all the horns that bullfrogs blow From tears so thick like glue they drip and build a castle slow I can see you saved for me a sweetness that still glows And though you're still my Hercules, Neptune's the one who's taking** me Come on lay that strength upon my sea Steady the string and snap it down the dust gets in my face A borderline to not cross, mind or manners keep in** place Still I recall you once extended me with handsome haste A rope to climb, to call all mine**, to ascend you with grace Now we will burn the fog away our hearts are like the sun We moved it now, not so laid down, and though the change was rough We'll* find our lives are kinder without complications of The fear and need that had taken seed and crowded out the love I want you and I'll let you go, Though we** can't stay, walk on the same rope** If we don't try it, we'll never know |

All through the station I wonder whether constellations Can change a leaden sky, a heart unmoving |
