dreaming through the noise

i am missing someone but i don't know who

dreaming through the noise
all the nights that joy has slept
dreaming through the noise
will awake to days of laughter where the light is

dreaming through the noise
I can't shake my sins
dreaming through the noise
when you walk me down your broken line

dreaming through the noise
I would give you my wings if they would help

dreaming through the noise
And night will throw down it's cover on me again

dreaming through the noise
I dozed a little while longer and woke a little younger

dreaming through the noise
a thousand sparrows flew down to your door

dreaming through the noise
I've never seen a sight so fine

dreaming through the noise
where I've stood on a cold clear night

dreaming through the noise

gathering two

salt from the water
the night continues fallen but in one piece
I drink in the quiet
butterflies flying away like a dream

gathering one

the wind was full of darkness and rain the houses fell

he leads up this hill of yearning

As I smolder bending closer to stitch, grief moves the dust

he pores over other people

there is a heart starting to stop the might in your eyes

I caught the way

I caught the way to keep forever

salt like glass scrubbed to a thick lens

she wore small silver spectacles

the bright yellow of the leaves like light, dim but light just the same

I caught the way to keep forever

you soft and lonely

running his hands between two layers of fabric

saying quietly to himself; I will not always be tethered to a crowd

I caught the way to keep forever

knowing it was a bitterly cold, winter day

a small paper theater with changeable backdrops

how much dreaming will it take?

I caught the way to keep forever

a fever of levers and wedged thoughts

thunder in my veins

being totally alone

I caught the way to keep forever

the doors are wide open

alabaster arms and legs but soft 

the trees were dreaming
