Looking For Horses

Trace my chest, find the fault-line in my heart
Got smoke in my hair and there's a hole in the sky
Close my eyes, I can't see you anymore
You don't live here anymore, and I don't know what I will do
All I've got is the song in my throat
And the clothes on my back
And the love in my two cupped hands

And all I need is for you to meet my eyes
Yours are amber and gold,
Mine are brown like the dirt that we sit on
In the night, in the cold, in our last hours

I won't stop til you breathe your final breath
Til I lay you in the ground, throw the flowers on your chest
And we will sing in those silent winter months
In the damp cold that leeches the color from our bones
And you will grow til you're bigger than before
Til you're bigger than the house
Til you're everywhere at once

And all I need is for you to meet my eyes
Yours are amber and gold,
Mine are brown like the dirt that we sit on
In the night, in the cold, in our last hours

Amber and Gold

A hymn for the times, a prayer for courage.

Recorded in the dining room of Willingdon Acres, using a highly advanced, state-of-the-art telephone system and an all-canine tech crew.

It goes like this:

Your endless body under mine
When we move, we move in time
And flow like water o'er everything
You say come, lay beneath my wings
You say come, lay beneath my wings

My feet are aching, my body worn
All my wanting to you I've sworn
And when I tire, and when I sing
Tell me come, lay beneath my wings
You say come, lay beneath my wings

Oh run through me and let me shine
I am in your hands, now come through mine
And when I stray or lose my way
Tell me come, lay beneath my wings
Tell me come, lay beneath my wings
