Intro

And ya that?s it.

Lyrics:
*a romance melody plays in tune
and every night a new notch is carved

and as i turn the corner
the rain starts
frost-bitten, weather-ridden
under the dimming lights

your calling me out through the crowd
whisper it gently
put my heart into place, rip out the cobwebs from your dreams
standing there (still) roses falling from your pockets
pick the petal not the thorn...


*recall the perfume in your blood
and at nights, your name, it keeps me warm

but the ground seems so far
and my heart reaches my lungs
and i never should have jumped
its too late.... please forgive

this soothing lullaby passed on through your hands
it?s all a matter of time
and i just wanted to hold you again
think of the informal fatalities


*filling my dreams with your face
i wake up crying
(pre-guitar solo)


(whispers)
with black behind
i settle for transitioning greys
white is chained to the floor
trampled like a child's toy...
used as a reminder

a blood covered four-leaf clover
stamped inside a book for preservation
23 years these pages opened
providing the key and seeds
that will be passed onto the sons of another

a blank face in an envelope
with ink to make an expression
(guitar solo)


*a romance melody plays in tune
the pinhole in my mind releases darkness

and as i turn the corner
the rain starts
filling my dreams with your face
i wake up crying

today was no more than a period at the end of the sentence.
pinning dead calluses to your coat
im a fictional character in your life story novel
when paper can not be ripped
harmonic crickets will chirp the tune to my empty heart
