Intro

this cocoon, caught in vesuvius' shadow

 only the ashes remain

 and i waited there for you

 why couldn't you?

here we lie waiting for somethig to startle

 to shake us from gravity's pull

 and so sleeping hours are through

 what can we do?

 the sorry conclusion, the low dirty war, it happened before you came to

 but this is solution, and this is amends

 the joke always tends to come true

 but there on your windowsill over the unmoving platoon

 written in paperback, view to the quarterback's room

 under waning moon

 this quiet serves only to hide you

 provide you

 what I knew, what I knew, it'd come back to you

take this palm, follow the lines here are written

and script out the rest of your life

and feel your fingers falling slack and all folding back

the tainted election, the hole in the sky

command what is tried, what is true

but without solution, with feet on the ground

it won't make a sound 'til you're through

so loosen your shoulderblades

this is your hour to make due

because there on the timberline

deep cold november shines through

soft and absolute

this quiet serves only to hide you

provide in you

what I knew, what I knew, it'd come back to you
