I can hear your heart beat a slow song
Let me mouth the words on your palm
I'll hold your soft silence
Break it up in my hands
May i taste your hours before dawn
Fingers through your fog in a gray dawn
Unfold your long bones my gray swan
I can hold your silence
Break it on the edges of my bones
And taste the sour spill of dawn
I can let you lift but hold on
I can let you lift hold right on
I can let you leave me
But place your tongue between my teeth
And i will hold you while you're gone
Hold you while you're gone
I can hold you while you're gone
Hold you while you're gone
