Now that i have sunk into the night Teeth clenched tight Strawberry fingers Bleed into my bed sheets My cotton mouth Your furrowed brow Now that i've untangled all my lies for you Unbutton my blouse Speak only in whispers Or birdsong Mating call of a vulture Say that you have thicker skin And i will kiss you But if my bitterness Were to spoil you too I'd sing you a lullaby or a Birdsong Disguise all of my goodbyes and in the Morning i'll be gone I'll be gone Far gone
