And kiss all our starbrowed brothers on the cheek

Save a dream for me
Words hang in the air
Her demons take the dare
Above the lonely feather
Circles to the ground
The house don't make a sound
Green and gray and auburn
Gliding down the sky
The devil winks an eye
A figure in the doorway
Shouldering the blame
This ain't without a name
The King and Queen are loaded
Falling off to sleep
The ground begins to creep
Red burns into night
Rolling out of sight
She don't care about time
Time gets in her way
Fades into the wind
Days roll into days
She's got nothing to hide
And she hides it so well
Keeps broken dreams
To fix up and sell
So young
And damaged by love
There's rain on the road
And the faithful have gone
In a crowd all alone
Walking 'round in a song
Eyes down at my door
And she holds out her hand
I love you so deep
But you can't understand
I'm goin' back...
