Bright arm of light through the curtains Swept silhouettes on velvet seats I believed you then, I believe you still Flashback a story unfurls Grew up along the clay hills Born, Where the river and winter, spills onto the plain Spotlight illuminates our cheeks I trace our differences Your birth was purchased, mine was an accident The theater organ plays How you long for the dead How your brother bled a creek From his wrist to the drain Hours before the curtain call I send of every flare I tried hard, fail, I try again Pivot way to be a part And tell you I deserve nothing You love me still Land as soft as we began You'll never be the fun drunk I'll never be the one In a white paper dress
