It was goodbye before the summer
Strangled lovers taking cover
A porcelain kiss under Big Sur winds
I hope you find when I'm back on my feet, babe
There's a chrome angel aching
A hundred eyes & no faces
Past life tribes & a heart worn ride
I held your sister like my very own & prayed
To a god I don't believe in
Through the Sistine Chapel we ran
Everyone's eyes looking up toward the sky
I couldn't keep from staring at you either way
The canyon dogs are howling now
They want you more than ever
The city lights are painting
Such a perfect picture on you
In the shadows we were singing
Out from your window we leapt
Everyone heard down on Sugar Street I learned
What it really meant to give myself away
Boyish in my wonder
Helpless in our hunger
Together we wept in a hospital bed
Knowing that forever your body changed
Through all those storms pounding
& All the thieves that surround us
I keep you close as the distance grows
Caught up in the core of the Earth we sway
The canyon dogs are howling now
They want you more than ever
The city lights are painting
Such a perfect picture on you
Are you leaving every place
I couldn't find or I was late to?
Was the war everything
You wanted or better?
The canyon dogs are howling now
They want you more than ever
The city lights are painting
Such a perfect picture on you
It was goodbye before the summer
Psychic lovers taking cover
Live & let go all things will grow
There's still your blood on the mattress where we laid
