Thomas
Thomas don't count the hours till morning
I’ll tend the fire, while you sleep on the floor
Dream I'm a dark flock of birds above the backyard

Naked as day
Aching for wisdom
Scar on your thigh, takes the shape of a passenger ship
I Imagine a lake, dark and warm as your mouth

Time bends us, back to when you're the young man
I see you in the sleeping or
Or I find I am distracted by your innocence gone
Take a life, just to make a new death, honey
I still don’t know where you've gone, come on
Tell me, I'll find you there

Take me stone face
Make my body a cradle
Love me till death or till
I can't remember
Till I'm just a stranger you met
On your way to oblivion
Time bends us back to when you're a young man
You're a lifeline
