Grass Widows

[Verse 1]

We found each other blown between the trees

Where the moons want me to be swallowed by the sea

Like we finally saw the colors of the world

We grew the garden snake within the weeds

Laid each other long across a flat backstreet

Like we finally saw the colors of the world

[Verse 2]

We felt the sun leave us for the west

And the lips always folding farther from the breast

Like we finally saw the colors of the world

We ran a white flag up the mast

Puckered up like a widow gleaming in the grass

Like we finally saw the colors of the world

[Chorus]

Like we saw black, like we saw black and blue

You pressed up in the foolish snow up, cover loose

Like we saw black, like we saw brown and green too

You saw it often, but it's over too soon

[Chorus 2]

Like we saw black running a million times

I found you in the fundamental mind

Like we saw black lyin' in gold and white

I'll love this song until you love me all night

[Verse 3]

We threw our money to the river stones

Led each other to the woods to wander back alone

Like we finally saw the colors of the world

We let the taste linger in the mouth

South Chicago never gave us more to sing about

Like we finally saw the colors of the world
