the jaguar song

from I'm Already Crying by Art Of Flying

/

lyrics

the jaguar in his forrest bright,
a river made of tears,
tangled through the longest night
'til stars flew everywhere.

i watched them from the ferris-wheel
mesmerized by all the lights
the strange things we must see as real
as black & white

they cannot steal our story
they cannot steal our love
they cannot steal the heavens dancing way up above
you say i don't remember well...
i don't need to
when i'm holding you

inside the cuzco marketplace
i heard the old stones sing
'i'm dying just to meet you, babe'
not just in a dream

so the jaguar sets his eyes ablaze
and licks the lips right off my face
i'll miss them, but he can't replace the kiss you gave to me.

they cannot steal our story
they cannot steal our love
they cannot steal the heavens dancing way up above
you say i don't remember well...
i don't need to
when i'm holding you

and now the heart speaks only truth
before it breaks apart
the river she don't need no proof when the crying starts

and even when the light is gone
and what we call our work is done
you whisper: 'let's go watch the sun set in our hearts.'

they cannot steal our story
they cannot steal our love
they cannot steal the heavens dancing way up above
you say i don't remember well...
i don't need to
when i'm holding you

"...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."
