Well I dreamt last night you were makin' love   To a bird you swore you'd given up oh   How I woke up shakin'    The wolves kept watch on the wind outside   I kept my eyes towards the wooden sky oh   There would be no escaping   And the rent we'd sworn would be enough   To bind a love that had somehow fallen short   Was now overdue   I held your breath trying to get you high   Heard your lover's song as it filled the night   I fired two into the sky and kept one for you oh   The fire burned bright right above our bed   Kept us up all night trying to make amends   Oh child your call is in vain and I'm onto you   I awoke to find that the time had come   To leave behind this mess that we once called home   Well tonight this child of god will be forced to choose oh   It was at the sight of the hands of the working man   Outside my window and a voice in my head spoke   Of making plans so clear and simple   I kept one for you.
