sinew

Rest like you belong here With your damp hair With your chest heaving Soar out over the long land With your cold hands To watch the plains receding Waves up off of the pavement Will carry you in It's like your sweat is cleaning You swallowed the sinew My body passed through Before I began breathing When the night falls And the light dawns Off each other's bodies now you see When the land falls And the tide crawls Off each other's bodies you're in me (Off each other's bodies...) Drawn out like the Laurentians Out through the window Color the grace in our age Peer down into the craters Under the lost lakes Where clarity is buried Waves up off of the pavement Will carry you in It's like your sweat is cleaning You swallowed the sinew My body passed through Before I began... When the night falls And the light dawns Off each other's bodies now you see When the land falls And the tide crawls Off each other's bodies you're in me (Off each other's bodies...) Now you see how you're in me In me Now you see how you're in me Waves up off of the pavement Will carry you in It's like your sweat is cleaning You swallowed the sinew My body passed through Before I began breathing
