In The Fall Light

Here comes a cop with a gun in his hand and
I'm thinking that this party has gotten out of hand
I look at the snow falling up on the hill
The stars are so cold and the lilies are so very still

It was so unexpected, it was just like you said
A bloody little black number with a gun to her head
I took all my chances I took all of the time
I took every last drop of summer, still hoping to shine in the

Fall Light
The angle is funny, the lens is not right
I want to stay
In the silent beginning of that blessed day

Hotels and barbells and inching away
From the funny little black spider who always gets his way
A church on the corner where I learned to pray
I said "God you gotta give me something, something to make me want to

Stay here
When the message is muddy, the meaning's not clear
I want to turn
From the fullness in me, from the lesson that I'll never learn"

Hold me like a baby
I know no one can save me
I feel so tired and crazy

So little and lazy
Hollow and hazy

I'm a story
That never gets told 'cause I'm never believed
Sorry
For being so blind, for being so weak
