lithograph - ivory hours lyrics

Loading...

i’m looking out through the holes in a sweater
that she knit in the spring
the moths are feeding on the thread
and the cold is getting in

i tried to draw a picture of a pleasant memory
but every time i thought i missed her
the lead would intervene

i asked the man with charcoal eyes
why my image wouldn’t bleed
he said the lines are an illusion
that we wander in-between

when i’ve got it figured out
that’s when i know i’m lost
when i’ve got you figured out
that’s when i know i’m lost

seems to me, i’ll always know
unsaid words, nostalgic poems
the nakedness of everything is menacing
when i find myself alone

i found a frozen lake, cut a hole into the ice
i found the frustrated figures of men and mice
their solitary footsteps and machines left to rust
i watched them fall to weary knees, and mingle with the dust

i met the gaze of a man, his blue eyes held the past
that solemn look told me that nothing good is ever going to last
