If you bring the tears
I’ll fetch the Jar
If you count the sorrows
I’ll count the stars
-
So set out the scraps
chase the wolf from the door
if you lost your alibi
here’s a thousand more
-
Bring along the space
I’ll make the time
and then hold on,
hold on like the dark holds the satellites
-
I’ll walk the steel
if you’ll catch my fall
and if you whisper softly
I won’t speak at all
-
so place all your bets
I’ll raise the steaks
you can call my bluff
you’ve already seen it in my face
-
Bring along the space
I’ll make the time
and then hold on,
hold on like the dark holds the satellites
_
If I named the stars
would that make you smile
If I leaned in
could I stay for a while
