Lyrics
you led the way to off-white walls
and wooden floors and open doors
and birds and birds and birds
and all with dusty backs
among these books all leather-jacketed
but i could only find
in my own time
the way to arizona's yellow tent
afloat upon the lake
and i'm alone but in another way
i found a black bat tangled in a birch tree
if i'm a body you're a blanket on me
if i'm a forest you're the field at my feet
if i'm a corner that the dark backs into
you're the darkness that this corner clings to
if i'm a mountain with the moon above me
i, the mountain, choose the moon to envy
and there's a line in my palm
i know it's not very long
i know it's not what you want
but there's a light in the dark
and there'll be light
if i'm gone
