Wake the House
Wake the house to the last light
Hang the lantern turn it up bright
Spilled cups and colored panes
Reminiscing with the ground
Furlough the moon, distract the sun
That we're here is what's astounding
Margin for the breakage
Darling, mark the day
An X in red, for love
Darling, mark the day
Mystery watch reversing
Darling, mark the day
Forward sketching rough
Darling, mark the day
Heavy traps are still unsprung
Overhead, the highest rung
Facing west forever young
Darling, mark the day
Thumbs on point of sleepy eyes
En Guarde the steppe-ivory prize
Tiger away on his business
Tonight the monkey is king
Gang plank the terrace
And nothing to scare us
In numbers to stem the sting
Measure twice for mercy (darling, mark the day)
Darling, mark the day
Almanac scripted gold
Darling, mark the day
Datebook page in dressage
Darling, mark the day
Dovetail fades to hold
Darling, mark the day
Drawstringed cobalted dreams
Pour out like smoke on steam
Much obliged to the scene
Darling, mark the day
A day from tomorrow
Stand up from this wake
Momentarily and counting
Darling, mark the day
Drawstringed cobalted dreams
Repapered at the seams
Darling, mark the day
Wake the house to the last light
Hang the lantern turn it up bright
Spilled cups and colored panes
Reminiscing with the ground
Furlough the moon, distract the sun
That we're here is what's astounding
Margin for the breakage
Darling, mark the day
An X in red, for love
Darling, mark the day
Mystery watch reversing
Darling, mark the day
Forward sketching rough
Darling, mark the day
Heavy traps are still unsprung
Overhead, the highest rung
Facing west forever young
Darling, mark the day
Thumbs on point of sleepy eyes
En Guarde the steppe-ivory prize
Tiger away on his business
Tonight the monkey is king
Gang plank the terrace
And nothing to scare us
In numbers to stem the sting
Measure twice for mercy (darling, mark the day)
Darling, mark the day
Almanac scripted gold
Darling, mark the day
Datebook page in dressage
Darling, mark the day
Dovetail fades to hold
Darling, mark the day
Drawstringed cobalted dreams
Pour out like smoke on steam
Much obliged to the scene
Darling, mark the day
A day from tomorrow
Stand up from this wake
Momentarily and counting
Darling, mark the day
Drawstringed cobalted dreams
Repapered at the seams
Darling, mark the day
Wake the house to the last light
