Out Into The Snow
I've been living in a room where the rafters shook Where the trains pass through the moonlight Dusts rain down, cover my books Even the bricks crumble to the floor in a landslide
Remember the caller from a pay phone somewhere In the heart, broken, drunk Muffled voices and shattered glasses Toasted all the heads that were not yet hung
Yours was getting low So I stepped out into the snow
Cut through the car wash across the street Where a man cleaned the salt from his tires Passed through the grocery store parking lot Where open hands bummed nickels for fires
They sang 'have you anything to keep a belly warm' On the coldest night of the year I gave my change to a bucket of steam Said he had to get the hell out of here
Before he froze And I stepped out into the snow
Found you flickering by lightbulbs Your new shadows swayed in the concrete Said baby it's true You get cold so you look for heat
Everywhere I've been is empty and thin And swallowed by the bay
Standing too low And I stepped out into the snow
Verse from the Bible, memorized in childhood 更多更詳盡歌詞 在 ※ Mojim.com 魔鏡歌詞網 Fell from your tongue to the car keys Asked me if it mattered, everything had a pattern You can't stand far enough back to see it
I helped you to bed, then I washed my face Covered my hands over your kitchen sink Then I cracked the window and let some pressure escape Just in time to hear a siren scream
You'd better go And I stepped into the snow
Shed my clothes and killed the lights And laid in my bed staring at the rooftop This is as quiet as the city gets Shooting neon all over our cracked windshields
I don't remember what happened next I'm afraid it took me by surprise The night rolled in, it felt dark and then I guess I closed my eyes
Just that note And I stepped out into the snow
Dreamed I was a school of fish I dreamed I was a mother nursing a child Dreamed I was the long black train Rattling through the countryside
Dreamed I was reborn in a tornado closet In the mason jar's cobweb Took some time to find my way out of the basement
The climb was slow And I stepped back out into the snow
