Lyrics
She carries around the light of the moon
in the curve of her spine and a runcible spoon
at the hinge of morning she sits at her loom
and weaves yellow light out of the blue.
But I’m only as wise as you
I’m only quietly tending an old wound
I’m only carried as the wind’s old news
but it carried me quickly and whispered me to you.
The walls are damp from your breathing
so I guess your still alive, none of this easy
it does not mean I do try to take a cobweb
for a lover, to be a spider for a night
for when I’m barely treading water
I neither sink nor swim nor take flight.
I don’t know what doesn’t grow
under my own skin, among my own bones
I don’t know what I’ve never had to
pull down from the sky, from my tightrope
I don’t know, I didn’t know!
I was dragged out by the old tom cat down the road!
I don’t know, I didn’t know, I was on my own, I was on my own.
And I’m only as wise as you
I’m only quietly tending an old wound
I’m only carried as the wind’s old news
but it carried me quickly and whispered me to you.
