Laughing Lover - Blitzen Trapper

Crucify the blinding sky for light

Love’s lover is like a lightning rod

Howling wind has been heard in my head

Dead dreamers in a burning car

Your mind is a diamond blue and green

Shining out through your eyes like falling leaves

When you open your mouth a swarm of bees will appear

My dear steer clear, have no fear

For you know just what they call you here:

You’re the laughing lover covered in tears

Steal away the sun, the moon and stars

Start simple with a woman’s voice

Wisdom lingers on the fingers of the fortress

Like a lazy ghost

Your mind is a dragon of dying bird

Like to circle the flames singing words unheard

When you’re death like a thread pulls you in and your lover herds

My dear its clear have no fear

For you know just what they call you here: you’re the laughing lover covered in tears

Sanctify the blinding sky for light weaves wonders out of bits of clay

Howling wind has been heard in my head breaking bread, but in a gentle way

Your mind is a diamond blue and green

Shining out through your eyes like falling leaves

When you open your mouth a swarm of bees will appear

My dear its clear have no fear

For you know just what they call you here you’re the laughing lover covered in tears
