Salt and a broken wing.
Migratory songs.
Lord, I wish I could get out of my head
And back into the room.
We took that waltz in the rain.
For some stormy, leaky love.
Oh, my penance, take me back,
I'm the wreckage of a man
Who never got away.
We just spent all we had.
Now we're overdrawn.
But you were the knot in the ribbon
That tied me to the heavens,
You were my favorite shepherd of days.
You were the gold in the river
That the hardest day delivered,
You were my favorite shepherd of days.
You were the wheels set in motion
To throw my shutters open,
You are the blue light before the day.
