lyrics

If she cries, then I would cry and then we might remember time.
But there aren’t any memories because we never made them.

I read the card my daddy wrote, still pierces deep, it’s truth and hope.
The joy of anticipating her was its own gift.

How high is Venus tonight? I open my hands they’re filled with light.
Is it only spooks and witches who read star signs?

I looked at you across the room, delusion is a friendly ruse.
It animates you, I believe I hear you crying.

Swaddled up like a stone, the cries I hear are just my own.
Or could be it’s you who’s wailing through me?

I don’t think that you were sad, you changed your mind and you turned back.
I have to believe you chose for some good reason.

I don’t expect my tears to dry but now I know you’re inside.
The only life you had is mine to carry.

When you smile, I smile, when you cry, I cry.
The little light you brought is mine to carry.
