lyrics

I've been writing songs for friends
but never using their names
sort of hiding my affections
like tears cried in the rain
while all the while my heart grows strong
the love I speak to me alone
I've been smiling in a darkness
a dark a call my home
I've been writing songs for friends who've grown
so deep so wild so sweet so long
I've been singing songs for friends who've grown
so well inside of me

It's calm on the levy I'm fit for a fall
I'm strong on my shoulders but begging to be saved
when Death comes a creeping
just a creeping in your house
and you want not care for sweet despair
well it's coming with it now

You won't back down
It's worth all the trouble

It's hard to hide inside when everyone's watching
all of me and mine my endless distraction
it's hard to hide inside the pale half of daylight
a screen blue onto blue as the hounds hound the angels
on desolation mountain watching for the lightening
it's a summer of bummer
then it's back to the river

You won't back down
It's worth all the trouble

So Laura for the hell of it I'll say your name
for the heat and the teeth in it
I'm breathing you
I pull on the stars
a thread of lonely night
and stain my hands on the wine of the song
stay here now deep
lost in a tangle of locks where we sleep
I've been nowhere I've been free
I've been kept well hidden
in a shade of green
as yet before unseen
I've been free I've been nowhere
I've been outta sight
in the green of your eyes
just a tourist in the forests of the night
