lyrics

Keep your headlights low in the fog on a long country road,
where the row of cherry tree toss their blossoms to the breeze.
And the wine grows on the vine, reminding me of sweeter times,
when the family trees were sound, not rotten in the ground.
‘Cause the fault lines here run deep, through the stone and through the creek,
and the secrets we don’t speak of, can you hear them?
But the wedding bells are ringing, under a bamboo altar,
and the choir girls are singing, can you hear them? can you hear them?

We were better than, we were better then than we are now.
We are pushed up against the ridge of time and how?

And the lines are drawn in white, to separate what’s right
from all that’s wrong in this here world, can you see them?
And the seeds are planting down, reminding me of fuller times
when our love hung like the stars, do you see them? can you reach them?

We were better than, we were better then than we are now.
We are pushed up against the ridge of time and how?

And the bleeding hearts are yearning, for their own book of longing,
place the poems on the page, for the lovers and the deranged.
And a strange night had ensued, before the morning after,
and their laughter filled the skies, to their demons demise.
And their eyes were blue and bright, a simple moon, a luckless sight
to their iris’ delight, can you see them? can you read them?

We were better than, we were better then than we are now.
We are pushed up against the ridge of time and how?
