Geoff Baker - Dolorosa lyrics

rate me

The midnight summer sky just started crying like a child

And I’m not superstitious, but the rain don’t ever take my side

You wore sun from yesterday like blush upon your face

The love we had was just so vast we staggered under the weight

And I said, Won’t be long before I’m back again

Tapping at your window like the rain

I woke up with the blues around me like a noose

And I knew I’d have to walk in my own shoes

And there’s fresh holes in my back from where they took away my wings

The minute I opened my mouth and started to sing

And thoughts of you get running long and deep

And bully me right up and out of sleep

The day I got my things from your daddy’s place in Freehold

I threw cobwebs along the walk to your front door

I’d never seen your old man look so old

Like someone took his air and left him standing there

You were somewhere else and naming shadows

And watching light throw shapes on open windows

And I know when you come back if you come back you’ll want some time

To call the hard days out and name them line by line

To shove our soft nights back away and wait for them to call

Maybe when the trees are gold and shouldering the fall

And waiting, bated breath, for how to be

Where everything’s stuck in a minor key

I woke up with the blues inside me dancing ones and twos

And the air was shimmering spirits trying to break in their new shoes

Around the hole inside me while I wait for whatever winter brings

Longer nights and shorter days and air so cold it sings

And trees that bristle, crystal under frost

And adding up the everything we lost

<br />

<br />
