Sunlight On Water

Thoughts are splintering like

Sunlight on water

Sunlight on water

After the fact

Baby, I can't deny it

You know that I wanna

But honey, how am I gonna

Put all the pieces back?

Yeah, guess it's been a while

This painting by numbers

Blind eye to what hungers

Down in the deep

Trying to reconcile

With time slipping sideways

All these tricks that the light plays

Making it look like it's ours to keep

We're the ones that waited all winter

Can't even begin to

Explain the way that felt

Yeah, we're the ones that waited all winter

Collided right into

Our own true selves

Sometimes I say this stuff

Yeah baby, sometimes I scream it

But you know I don't mean it

Most the time anyway

I wrote your name in chalk

Right here on the pavement

Wonder where all the feet went

Rubbed those chalk words away

We're the ones that waited all winter

Can't even begin to

Explain just what that does

To be the ones that waited all winter

Collided right into

The way it always was

This damn place gets so quiet

Think I'll sink like a stone some

Sit here picking the bones from

A whole heap of time

Got the moon out back

She's calling out to me

Shining right through me

I'm hammered out so fine

I'm hammered out so fine

I'm hammered out so fine
