lyrics

Darling sister are you awake? Just a few words before this heart breaks. The laurel leaves are starting to bloom and I’ll be on that train soon. And you know I’m not one to talk with much grace but believe me you’re as rich as the soil and as elegant as lace. These words unspoken fall to the ground like souvenirs when the fair has left town. Words unspoken they ripped and they tore. Sister, forgive me for words unspoken and all that I meant I should have carved in the sidewalk cement. Words unspoken they flutter then fall. Sister, forgive me for it all. Dear old brother where have you been? Has that city taken you in? I’ve heard the light entrances with the allure of second chances. Now you know I’ve never been blessed with much charm but believe me we were thick as thieves, brothers in arms. These words unspoken fall to the ground like souvenirs when the fair has left town. Words unspoken they ripped and they tore. Brother, forgive me for…These words unspoken fall to the ground like souvenirs when the fair has left town. Words unspoken they ripped and they tore. Sister, forgive me for words unspoken and all that I meant I should have carved in the sidewalk cement. Words unspoken they flutter then fall. Brother, forgive me for it all. I had to run. Naked and flayed my stitching had all come undone. What had become of our little home, the place our hands built under sun? Bless me Apollo. The truth burns like fire on this liar’s lyre tonight. I had to run but I leave you this token, the words never spoken now sung. I had to run. The soles of my feet took to the street when that wind blew. But I’m not quite done until you understand how you’ve shaped this man through and through. Darling sister you taught me to smile. Dear old brother you silenced the wiles. All I want to do is say to you that…
