Harbor Me

Clear me a space

On the hallway closet floor

Lie to the cops

When they're at your door

Throw crumbs

Get the hounds off my tail

Make sure the coast is clear

Before you get my mail

Harbor me when I'm hungry

Harbor me when I'm hunted

Grab some shades

From the gas station rack

Living in fear

Till you come back

Sound of the key

Like an orchestral cue

Into the daylight

Thank God it's you

Harbor me when I'm shaken

Harbor me when I'm lost

Never see the day before dark

Every fugitive hour leaves its mark

Coded marks on a map

Written in my own hand

Parse it for days

Still can't understand

Bring me a candle

Bring me a match

Bring me some gasoline

Down the hatch

Harbor me when I'm breathless

Harbor me when I'm choking
