Callous Copper

Take me home upon your back

And bring me to my bed

While away the night with me

Til the sunlight rears its head

Seeds in the vane spinning

North face to South stepping

Big blue eyes and seven league boots

That turn and stream back to the beginning

Pushing off into nothing

Callous Copper covers the bright colours

Quietly now you kiss my mouth

Turns me inside out and inside in again.

Carry me away with you

Tread fallen auburn skin

While away the week with me

Like surfing without string

Vane in the wind ripping

Back to face the cold a coming

A shot in the dark hit me straight in the chest

Bleeding ruby red blood that would have otherwise gone to my head

Putting names to nameless faces

Taking sunsets in foreign places

We made a left when it seemed right was wrong

But I wouldn’t have it any other way

Wouldn’t have it any other way"
