lyrics

me and the ghost of my lonely take a stroll into town
every now and then when the sun is coming up or going down
past the evergreen grove in the graveyard
where we kissed in the snow at the turn of the century
the tawny appaloosa light on your linen dress
you unbuttoned my shirt and laid a hyacinth on my swelling chest

i don’t wear a band on my ring finger
just a bandage every now and then
glass is sharp and the shards are quick
i can see through to the truth beneath my skin
blood and panes and lights and gin

i imagine us old and reclining close
our manes become a single thing
every colour of a fox’s coat
the smell of fog and evergreen
i miss the solitude and assurance
of first and second loves
i miss the warmth of loves that never fired

love in my pocket like a folding knife
love in the ground for another life
