Night of Heaven

Am I so sure?
Nobody can catch me creepin'
And escaping with my baby
Blood on the door
Alters a faithful visit
Hair brained or risky
Protecting this seed for my love
Just one more night of heaven in this hell
Forbidden by godly men and maybe you

They watching you know
The stroke of the key
The pop of the lock
The turn of the coat
The clock of the whip of the wrist or the whip of the wheel
Is a whip poor will whistle
They listen for gristle and bone
And you phone it all to them in lists of your wants that you click

Point 'em out
Any kind of beating they can join around
Any kind of meeting of the motor mouth
Emotions in the orbit of the speaking she could go
Without they seek each time she wrote it down

And nothing's forever but this
Every word that she stitched
On the net of her intimate interests
Absently ordered deliveries tipped

Could I have known?
I'd ever become so sensible
And long for a family
I found a home
A miracle in strife
A perilous secret
To guard with resentment my love

Just one more night of heaven in this hell
Forbidden by ruling men and maybe me
Just one more night of heaven in this hell
A motion for passing through just one more day

They're watching, you know
Point 'em out
They-they watching, you know
And no-no-no-nothing's forever but this
Any kind of fleeting itch to order out
The hunger could embolden but
She knows that they are right around

The corners are beholden to
The order of the golden angle
So she doesn't make a sound
But little isn't nothing
And a footprint is enough to bring
The algorithm into town
She wonders 'bout the thunder
Reminiscing 'bout the TV screens flipping down
And all she heard was tick and pound

Then days are gone
Those ways are lost so
Don't wait too long
Don't waste the heart so
Frivolous, the littlest of morsels
Are recorded and embroidered on to your soul
But they're watching, you know (they're wa-wa-watching, you know)
They need what you know
She leaves them a letter of thanks
And then makes her way gracefully into the dark

And anonymity lost
The fog is thicker here
In this part of the everything
So what difference is surrender
If surrender is blind
And the timing is always awkward?
