lyrics

Sunlight Stealing

i’ve got no land but where i stand on a sunny day glad with weeping. i’ve got no love to lie with me, just a bed on which i’m sleeping. i’m out today on streets so clean with light, they shine like babies, & those passing by rain-dry eyes, they too look filled with maybe’s.

& the sun shines down like it knows i need to be bathed in light that warms the sea without end & the billion questions hanging in the wires cast their shadows & whisper hey old friend — when are you gonna answer me, when are you gonna answer me, when are we going to be together? you want to live in the country, but it will never be closer than under your feet forever.

& you ask me why i tell you this? it's to fly with you & kiss beyond this feeling that some of us get to own & some of us get to have known the look of sunlight stealing.
