lyrics

I remember miracles dripping from her finger tips like honey in whisky.
She'd let me rest, shadowed the morning sun with curls of ivory.

She never liked the way I spread my voice
like jelly on small-town bread.
Booze, the Blues, and untied shoes.
I tripped over every single word she said.

Now I'm feeling like a harpoon
heart beating quick, let me go, I need some room.
But she knows where the rope ends,
knows the way the hook bends.
It's a slow stab through a steady lake.

She'd make one hell of a ghost, a skeleton dreamer.
Even when I told her it's not me it's the muse.
Couldn't take the heat we torched the kitchen.
Let the ashes burn the stars of our sky.
