Catch The Light

Darling wait
All I want
Is for people to know you
Someone ought to show you
I’m in no place

You’re entertained
By why I try
How reduced am I
This business of being
Leaves me behind

This will not do
Who knows the knot
My fingers have long forgot
Free me from the pebble
My shoe has caught

Autumn days
Start now
For somewhere summer fades
So fear no shadow
Or feel no shade

A moment I
Could’ve kept all to myself
I abandoned on the lowest shelf
Why is it every day why must my heart rebel
How does it lie so well

You ok?
Not at all
You are not done for
Aim for my eyes
Quit looking at the floor

Oxygen
Find the flesh
Under the apple skin
Measure the trouble we all are in

Swallow all the emptiness that I possess
Another melody, I know it ain’t my best
I know that now
If I fish with my own flesh
Nothing will be left

Look-a-here light gives off from these houses
And there’s people aplenty pouring from the mountains, maybe
Those who wove roses in the darkness by the statues had it figured out
Maybe one day I will make one for you
If the muddiest of water
Can catch the most light
Maybe one day
If the muddiest of water
Can catch the most light
Maybe one day I will make one for you
