π Lyrics
There was a time
I could sleep anywhereβ
My feet on a chair
My heart in the woods
But love was aloof
Just a beggar for tips
A mime on whose lips
No promises stood
But you can cut me quick
In the light of the shade
On the edge of the green
Of the yard's sharpest blade
When nothing I knew
Was all that it seemed
I still dreamed
Of a love to outlive us
I still prayed
That this night would outlast us
And redeem some small thing
Far beyond me
Blossoms begin
Like the tip of a spear
Or the curve of a tear
From a soldier who weeps
Seducing the guard
Of lost years falling byβ
As flowers to lie
On the dead feigning sleep
But you cut me quick
In the light of the shade
On the edge of the green
Of the yard's dark parade
When nothing we knew
Was all that it seemed
I still dreamed
Of a love to outlive us
And I still prayed
That this night would forgive us
And redeem some small thing
Far beyond me
But you cut me quick
In the light of the shade
On the edge of the green
Of the yard's sharpest blade
When nothing we knew
Was all that it seemed
I still dreamed
Of a love to outlive us
And I still prayed
That this night will convince us
And redeem some small thing
Far beyond me
I could sleep anywhereβ
My feet on a chair
My heart in the woods
But love was aloof
Just a beggar for tips
A mime on whose lips
No promises stood
But you can cut me quick
In the light of the shade
On the edge of the green
Of the yard's sharpest blade
When nothing I knew
Was all that it seemed
I still dreamed
Of a love to outlive us
I still prayed
That this night would outlast us
And redeem some small thing
Far beyond me
Blossoms begin
Like the tip of a spear
Or the curve of a tear
From a soldier who weeps
Seducing the guard
Of lost years falling byβ
As flowers to lie
On the dead feigning sleep
But you cut me quick
In the light of the shade
On the edge of the green
Of the yard's dark parade
When nothing we knew
Was all that it seemed
I still dreamed
Of a love to outlive us
And I still prayed
That this night would forgive us
And redeem some small thing
Far beyond me
But you cut me quick
In the light of the shade
On the edge of the green
Of the yard's sharpest blade
When nothing we knew
Was all that it seemed
I still dreamed
Of a love to outlive us
And I still prayed
That this night will convince us
And redeem some small thing
Far beyond me
