Music and lyrics by J Stephen Roberts

 

Morning cold around the house

Dreams forgotten after bed

And I was lying in the darkened depths

In the human experiment

Somebody was watching us

From the spaces in between the grass

But it was only light from a dead star

Sleep well tonight at last

 

And so I call

Into the silent midnight

Lost echoed voice

Is vibrating away like this

In drifted hard loneliness

 

I have woken up again

In your white trembling arms

But it was only when I touched your face

Gray stillness of the dawn

What is this we are within?

Yellow leaves are on the yard

And we walk together everyday

And another day is gone

 

And oh, but doll

We might be in each other

Love like rain

Is coming down in a wild haze

To clear the sky and fade away

 

Heaven in a history book

How did they remember that?

And I have listened to what they explain

I have heard the frightened words

We know everything now

Truth defended dauntlessly

But when the blood has run into the lake

It is only what we believe

 

And oh, I’m lost

I do not pretend to grasp

Always alone

Feeling every breath of wind

To turn and walk back home again
