I shall heal in the howling of the Lord
And the bones we had licked were like needles scorned
All alone we were howling awake
Finding hope in your love was my great mistake

I saw heal in the howling of the Lord
And the arms outstretched put the needle on
All alone we were lying awake
Put the porch light on for my mother's wake

When in doubt we'd choose to hide
But not many worms like your eyes
I was lost in other times
And traveling back then we would find

With quick hands I unclasp your bra
Don't tell me I don't know what I saw
Marsh leaves on the morning fire
I stoked all I can from your desire

When the hands were grave
Were the letters I sent you saved?
Would you touch another guy?

Would it all work out?
Did you feel the midnight shower?
Did you hope for other times?
I'm not always good
But I will learn to hide my shame
And get back to you in time
