Untitled

Paints her face tonight with chalk And charcoal lines of laughter Broken blue on powder grey Looking like some river i remembered From an old December morning Born beneath the break of day But if you're living in a picture frame While the hands of time behind you Sculpt the life out for the living You must turn around or walk away Hold me mother I've never died before Hold me mother I've never died I've never died before today Show me all the secrets that i learned Between the talking trees of childhood When i was freer than the rain Did they steal them in a sideways glance? Was it a kiss, a curse, a trance, was it a chance worth taking? Or did i give them all away Hold me mother I've never died before Hold me mother I've never died I've never died before today I've never died And you can't speak the beauty of a silence in a song And you might hold on forever But for fear of holding on And you move in every movement You're the turning of the wheel Why feel so afraid? Dont be afraid to feel Feel, feel, feel The city square And all the lights went out I saw you standing there In the red dress your mother bought from the city market Down down down Down beside the water Oh yeah And I lay there in your arms for the very last time How was I to know that it would be the final flight The final flight
