sweepers
Since you asked me to dance, how can I be the fool?
Yet you steal away glances, stay a step away, ahead.
As your dress spins in the wind,
the shadows from the corners drag you in.
May the band sweep through us, a calm to and fro
with their broomed instruments
Watch the dust and bones fly up around us, my oh my!
The aftermath and horror will soon be kept secret
Under the carpet in your room.
More dirt than you ever knew.
More dirt than you ever knew.
And did time ever stay still with you and I
The stars hung in the sky, tied with string
And a certain little knot is the only thing
That keeps them from falling.
If only I was bound to the ceiling with string
Maybe the midnight's lamp will find me waxing.
And I�ll fall in love with my sadness,
it�ll wrap its hopeless arms around me
Like I wrapped my loving arms around you
I was such a fool.
For now you�ll do.
