waking before you/I've got a fever and a childish wish for snow (my favorite lyrics ever)
worried homes have walls/they absorb old phone calls/they spit warm laundry smoke to the cold backyard/but to be a father/I must take my life and solder all my neighborhoods of night to you
we tied our ribbons to the fire escape/they were taken by the birds/who flew home to the country as/the bombs rained on the world
my mind is filled with silvery stars/honey kisses clouds of love/shoulders shrugging off/cheer up/honey I hope you can/there is something wrong with me/my mind is filled with radio cures/electronic surgical words
one brash phrase could crush this fragile day/as my thoughts swirl in some shrill sad cannonade/and one such spur that caused my throat to creak/the one dull dawn I'm sentenced to repeat
the last time we saw you/you looked so much older/your famous blue raincoat was torn at the shoulder/you'd been to the station to meet every train then/you came home without lili marlene
