When I heard
Heard you shaking
Heard you shaking on the phone
And you blew
Like a wind right through
Blew right through my laid bare bones
Stop asking me when I'm coming home
There's a dream
That appears sometimes
Just a dream and nothing more
In a room
White as lullabies
And you're standing by the door
I would set your table
Wash your plates and bowls while you cooked for me
Girl I am so tired
All I want to do is lay by your side and sleep
Not a moment left of this lifetime I can keep
Well there's something
I should let you in on
I'm a little south of home
And I tell my friends
That it's political
That the culture's getting so low
But I guess I should tell you
If you really want to know
That I killed my baby
Killed her softly and I killed her slow
But I guess you know all this, you're the same one after all
Will you hear
Will you listen clear
Listen closely to my prayer
Though I lose
Every part of you
Not the feeling of you there
Something to remind me
Just how sweet and lovely dreams can be
And how dark and deadly
When you force them into days
Maybe every birth leaves a death song on the breeze
