And This Much I Know

An urban morn asleep since fall
got your long side close to mine
My prayers are tangled in your bed,
those devils holding vigils overhead
what I want is
stay awhile

I heard you say no good thing goes
a saying for a child,
The birds hold wires and canopies
I believe it all your perfectly told lies
planets backwards
Trains on time.

(chorus)
We are love song made
Happy ending saved
Call the band back in
And this much I will know

Accordion man a nickel please
a dance around the street
The rain holds tight to fallen leaves
your words outstretched
My hemline scrapes the ground
Old man laughing
Knowing nothing

(chorus)

An urban morn asleep since fall
Your long side close to my short Sunday mind
Knowing nothing
Stay awhile

(chorus)
