Tower

They blew out the dam last night

A wave a mile high washed out the town

Iron ore and mudflow

Coffined the valley below

I woke up

Tried to shake away the dream

I watched the rain swallow the street

Out my window

I looked out

From the heart's ATC tower

I called to ground your crow-winged shadow

Down below

You radioed across that ancient runway

Our love made known in its jeopardy

Clenched fists find God in rough landings

And tonight it's gonna snow

You can believe in all your doubts

People talk shit, I don't know what about

You saw me clear in a second's time

I saw the Christ looking out your eyelids

I don't have the answers now

I got the mind just laying around

But if we could do this life again, I swear

You would always find me standing right here
