Black Cargoes - Streets Lyrics

From the Album: Glass

Streets

All streets are yours
And once there was sleep
Leave all behind, I said
Knowing you won’t
Places we’ve been
And gestures we’ve kept
In what a strange imagery
We have been trapped

We walk down the streets
The worn-out streets
Say what intensity
We’re longing for
Then someone said
Somewhere is rest
In what a forced loneliness
We have been
Thrown into
We are all we need
And you know we’re right
We are all we need

Put off desires
Where sleep can’t be found
Leave all behind, you said
Knowing I won’t
Places we’ve been
Where we tried to despair
Just to be lost enough
To carry us
Through this love
We are all we need
And you know we’re right
We are all we need
