Night Winds - Geographer

A photograph and whisper

Find me in the night

Like the sound of sad dolls

Wishing they could cry

Something only we know

Underneath street lights

Shadows make things easy

So I made you mine

This would be so simple

If you were fast asleep

And all the bottles you throw

They would be lost at sea

You could take my letters

And rearrange the words

You could read them backwards

Until you liked what you heard

If I could know what they know

We could sell this gold

And I could wear your halo

With the nights grow cold

You could wish my child’s eyes

Would turn to clouds and part

And I could wish that I lied

When I said I lost your heart

So long the days

That melt away

So long the words

You could not say

So long the days

That melt away

So long the words

You could not say

If only last December

Had stayed beneath the snow

I hear your muffled laughter

After the curtains close

But to the sound of night winds

In the dark you grope

Try to find some likeness

Under my wrinkled clothes

So long the days

That melt away

So long the words

You could not say

So long the days

That melt away

So long the words

You could not say

So long the days

That melt away

So long the words

You could not say

So long the days

That melt away

So long the words

You could not say
