Streetlight By Streetlight

Lyrics for Streetlight By Streetlight

I was born Covered mossy, moldy, torn Falling headfirst into war In spring the light stays A little longer than before Unnotable by day But you can feel it when it's gone If only you could say it now The things your tongue could tell to me The poems your eyes could write out And burned in effigy Though I am old 50 years since I touched ground I can scarcely hear your sound But in another life Long-lost brothers? Into a vision Streetlight by streetlight Tangled by antlers and wires Could it be different This time, this time? From a dream About the sound of your call I awoke in fever for the cull In fall the lights dim A little darker than before Remarkable to most Although I've seen it all before And when I'm out of things to dream of I pretend to be somebody else I pretend to be a person Anything I tell myself And if you could run away, how beautiful you'd look When the frame betrays the mind Undoing what was untold 50 years of watching people But it's you I've watched the most No tongue, no voice to tell you Tell you the only thing I know "I miss you, and I need to let you know" But in another life Long-lost brothers? Into a vision Streetlight by streetlight Tangled by antlers and wires Could it be different This time, this time?
