lyrics

& the sun was going down
police men were mopping up the town
& as our children lay there dying
smiling faces stood there lying to us
now all my crying seems like a waste of time
like worrying if the sun would never shine
you are everything to miss
shut my mouth up with yr kiss

& please take this heart from me & run
I will get another one
from the beauty of the night
& though I will die without yr touch
that's not saying very much
in a garden of earthly delights.

I just tried to live at peace with the world
I fell in love with two beautiful girls
bring my rhyming dictionary
send the screaming guitar fairies
& let the springtime blow the seeds
& let our hearts refuse to plow
there's a reason to believe
even if I can't explain it now

& PLEASE take this heart from me & go
there is something else to know
of the beauty of the night
& though I will die without yr kiss
there is more to love than this
in a garden of earthly delights


all my bodies & my branches
just went raging through their fences
they told me all my dreams are weightless
yet they hurl me like a freight-train
I took yr words into the trees
I made it springtime I made them the leaves
though the snow was spiraling round me
though our hearts were sleeping soundly

& please take this heart from me & run
I will get another one
from the beauty of the night
& THOUGH I will die without yr kiss
there is more to love than this
in a garden of earthly delight.

"...hazy & beautiful, content to balance contradictions: critics calling them at first "clear & bright" & then in the next sentence, "creaky & weird;" "the best-kept secret in American music of the new century."
