Over You

歌詞

This street is named for flowers It's barren, hot and gray And shadows wheel on iron heels And move along their way The light that soothes me evening Has cut me clean in two But my blood, it runs with stars And they're fallin' over you Now the bells have stopped their whaling They've been railing on deaf ears The towers lean, their faults unseen By us this many years The waiting crowd moves blind and loud Like angry rivers do But silence builds a bridge and reaches Swinging over you It used be the wicked Who surrendered but no more They've drawn a line through heart and mind And sold it like a war The poor play host, give up their ghosts Like death is nothing new But I could live forever When I'm dying over you I may learn someday to offer More than what I feel To set aside this wholesome pride And put my shoulder to the wheel To build our truth then raise the roof And not confuse the two But still we stand of rafters and the swing And there's laughter risen over you
