Wouldn't It Be Loverly (Live From The Columbia Records Radio Hour 5/16/1993)

Look Inside

Forever in Goodbye

The Living God

Under the silence
Pockets of dead and buried air
Cause a sudden subsidence
All the realities laid bare

Like how rabbits burrow into a hillside

Talking politely
Watching you stumble through the wood
While I try to tread lightly
Doubting the ground on which we stood

While the rabbits burrow into the hillside
Weakening the soil until every slope is
At risk of coming down in a landslide
Couldn’t watch us fraying so I cut the rope

I find a stranger
Where I had seen a future friend
Now the past is in danger
Kill the beginning with the end

It’s like I never knew you
Watching how you accept defeat
And I start seeing through you
Into the cracks beneath your feet

Like how rabbits burrow into a hillside
Weakening the soil until every slope is
At risk of coming down in a landslide
Couldn’t watch us fraying so I cut the rope

While you watched us weakening from the sidelines
I gave you a weapon but you let it rust
Like the ring that never quite seemed to fit right
Left out on the counter while we gathered dust

And I just can’t bear to witness you backslide
Fall back into habits that I hoped you’d break
And my father tells me that it will take time

But will you take the time
Now that I’ve finally made my mind up not to wait

So I sit here looking up at the hillside
Did I have to bury you to set you free
I’m an excavator combing a dig site
Hoping to find beauty under the debris
