A Quiet Darkness

Well Heaven rode my back
And the angels dragged my throne
Only yesterday

Only yesterday
I carved out your name

Only yesterday
I built you a shrine
On the side of the road
And I shut my eyes
And laid my hands to rest

In dreams
There's a way
To die

Well I towed you from the wreck
Of dimming shadows in my head
Only yesterday

Only yesterday
I laid you to rest

Only yesterday
I wept for your shape
In it's endless decay
And I raised your voice from a stone
With the song of the dead

In dreams
There's a way
To die
