Geoff Baker - Dolorosa lyrics

The midnight summer sky just started crying like a child And I'm not superstitious, but the rain don't ever take my side You wore sun from yesterday like blush upon your face The love we had was just so vast we staggered under the weight And I said, Won't be long before I'm back again Tapping at your window like the rain I woke up with the blues around me like a noose And I knew I'd have to walk in my own shoes And there's fresh holes in my back from where they took away my wings The minute I opened my mouth and started to sing And thoughts of you get running long and deep And bully me right up and out of sleep The day I got my things from your daddy's place in Freehold I threw cobwebs along the walk to your front door I'd never seen your old man look so old Like someone took his air and left him standing there You were somewhere else and naming shadows And watching light throw shapes on open windows And I know when you come back if you come back you'll want some time To call the hard days out and name them line by line To shove our soft nights back away and wait for them to call Maybe when the trees are gold and shouldering the fall And waiting, bated breath, for how to be Where everything's stuck in a minor key I woke up with the blues inside me dancing ones and twos And the air was shimmering spirits trying to break in their new shoes Around the hole inside me while I wait for whatever winter brings Longer nights and shorter days and air so cold it sings And trees that bristle, crystal under frost And adding up the everything we lost
