the significance of peaches - chris bathgate lyrics

did you mistake all those jokes that i trade
for talking about moving away?
or was it like this? was the punchline a kiss
whose mission was always to stray?
sweet josephine, she tells me i’m free
“if you want to you can just walk away”
but some who seem saved, they nest in a cage
their daydreams they never take shape
but yours, it would seem, are no swift passing dream
that’s one thing with which you have a way

this hour of soothe, you know i just speak the truth
it’s so rarely uttered, it’s so hard to exhume
holding a peach in the sweet palms of june
from the bloom end the blade traces bone
pulling the stone from its tender red echoes
it bleeds as i lean off the porch
and i have a dream where our son was born
and he’s gentle and handsome as you
and our love is real, like the late summer feels
wiping the dew from my mouth
when all of life seems like a swift passing dream
you wonder whose hands on the wheel
love, it would seem, is more than a feeling
a decision, a debt, or idea
the further i get the more i forgive
the more i grow weary of fall
with no tongue for truth, no hand for the jewel
you wonder if a wheel is there at all

- chris bathgate lyrics
