We found each other
blown between the trees
Waning moons wanting
to be swallowed by the sea
Like we finally saw
the colors of the world
We grew the garden snake
within the weeds
Laid each other long across
a flat backstreet
Like we finally saw the colors
of the world
We felt the sun leave us
for the west
Little lips always folding
farther from the breast
Like we finally saw
the colors of the world
We ran a white flag up the mast
Puckered up like a widow
dreaming in the grass
Like we finally
saw the colors of the world
Like we saw black
Like we saw black and blue
You pressed a pillow full of
snow on my bruise
Like we saw black
Like we saw God green too
You saw it awful
but it's over too soon
Like we saw black
Running around red ripe vines
I find you in the folds of
lonely red night
Like we saw black
Lying in golden white
Lonely so you tried to
love me alright
We threw our money
to the river stones
Led each other through the woods
to wander back alone
Like we finally saw
the colors of the world
We let the taste linger
in the mouth
South Chicago never
gave us more to sing about
Like we finally saw
the colors of the world
We found each other
blown between the trees
Waning moons wanting
to be swallowed by the sea
Like we finally saw
the colors of the world
We grew the garden snake
within the weeds
Laid each other long across
a flat backstreet
Like we finally saw the colors
of the world
We felt the sun leave us
for the west
Little lips always folding
farther from the breast
Like we finally saw
the colors of the world
We ran a white flag up the mast
Puckered up like a widow
dreaming in the grass
Like we finally
saw the colors of the world
Like we saw black
