The Left Side - Shearwater.mp3
[00:12.99]A pretty one-ey...
[00:12.99]A pretty one-eyed girl
[00:15.87]From the state of Maine
[00:19.38]Can't see the church:
[00:21.99]It's on the left side of her brain.
[00:24.75]But it's clothed in browning leaves
[00:27.93]And it wants to take her in,
[00:29.16]And there's a Parson's robe inside that wants to feel her skin.
[00:36.75]And the sleeves of warm, black cloth
[00:40.20]Are hungry for her wrists,
[00:42.90]And the first page of the Holy Book is hungry for her kiss.
[00:50.43]She'll go home all alone
[00:58.23]On the right hand of the interstate
[01:08.40]And the church upon the hill
[01:13.44]It will sit in browning leaves
[01:16.35]And it will wait for her, wait to be together.
[01:19.89]But she won't want it, ever.
[01:34.38]It's like a dream I had:
[01:36.03]This girl I went to see
[01:40.95]And I can't sing her name, she might be listening to me
[01:44.67]In a room of missing tiles we felt ourselves entwine
[01:52.65]And she bit my tongue and shouted as I crawled into her mind.
[01:58.38]It was full of singing mouths and apples in the air,
[02:04.71]A soft, warm little room that was surrounded by her hair.
[02:12.30]And, alone, when we awoke,
[02:13.77]We stretched our legs and spoke
[02:15.84]To the people we were sleeping with in voices not our own,
[02:21.60]In the cool of our beds
[02:22.05]With the words just dissipating
[02:30.96]In the open air ahead,
[02:33.12]And this other world just waiting until we're dead.
