Morning Dress

from Prometheus Run by Likewise

lyrics

Well Sally the wind blows
Our lies into circles
Our minds over meadows
We’re dragging behind

You stare up to their windows
To those warm homes we don’t own
And you weep in your trenchcoat
Out of cinder-red eyes

You spend your life on the riverbed
The glistening waves are your morning dress

We stop by the drug store
For some pills to make up for
A love that got lost or
Killed away

So what you’re holding my hand for
Did you hope that it leads towards
Somewhere in our past or
Are you just seeking warmth

You spend your life ‘hind a piece of glass
The shattering parts are your morning dress

You hide your face ‘hind a warpaint-mask
The downrunning ink is your morning dress

And then down by our old town’s well
You haste to stop and you kneel yourself
It looked as if you’d just cast a spell
When you rose in a smile

You laid your clothes off to take a bath
Inside the water was when you yelled
‘oh my dear wishing well
I was gone for a while’

So you took me into your waterbed
Life poured from you as my morning dress
