lyrics

you strangle me to awaken me my lungs are filled with falling leaves
your car's rust and cedar dust and thick green lakes at nearly dusk

burned tongue, warm fingers spread on tabletops or your smooth skin
entwined beside the cold spot for eight months mine
the saddest thoughts on summer nights

it was our last day together but we couldn't touch each other
you read the news and I called to you
it was our last night together, in all that awful weather
I read the news, but I cried for you

it's January's even gaze, her empty nights and lonely days
the softness of sadness, of streams paused and tasks left abandoned

it's winter's gray wrath; black wrath; fallen wreaths on busy paths
waves of cars washed with salt (winter's dried up tears)
white dust of the in-between
--it's done its job, but it wasn't clean
it's done its job, but it wasn't clean
(it wasn't clean)
