Soft Offering (For the Oft Suffering)

歌詞

The long knife of the sun rising Up the horizon and into our tired eyes The spell of night is struck down a second sight It's bleeding out Anna, can I come and walk you home? I'm not gonna want to be alone Beat it up when the sunlight comes Putting a cut by the clock on the wall Take the morning in the coroner's light You can have the afternoon, bury the evening too Get me together in calm of the night When the day is done and the rest is coming on Under the pitch and the pull of the moon Sweet, silver medicines swim in my temples and Bring in the shadows to cover our fall When the pain is gone and the rest is coming on [coming on, coming on]. You belong out of that uniform Out in the streets when everyone else is asleep See the way the body sways in empty air When there's nobody there, and you don't even care if there is Anna, can I be to you like that? Cover your shame with a shield of black? Cover your body with my trembling hands? And you're dancing while I hold them back? Go back to morning with the coroner's light Have the afternoon, bury the evening too Let's hide together in calm of the night When the day is done and the rest is coming on Under the pitch and the pull of the moon Sweet, silver medicines swim in my temples and Bring in the shadows to cover our wounds When the pain is gone and the rest is coming on [coming on, coming on]
