Unspeakable - Joe Henry

You tug at my sleep

A tangle of thread

That knots at the lock

At the foot of my bed

Swinging the door

To a perilous view

Where all my unspeakable dreams

Fall to you

All my unspeakable dreams

Fall to you

Mt shadow stands up at the sound of my name

I tug at my mask and try to explain

The way that I hide the one thing I might be

As is the unspeakable was unique to me …

Your time winds around me

I’m bound to the mast

That pushes ahead

And howls in my past

Giving full throat

To what as mine alone

As you take my unspeakable

Song as your own

Take my unspeakable

Song as your own
