1. KEEPSAKE

The smoke in the rain
Hung with blight
You turn away
The fog in my eyes
Shrouding the love, the grace, the light

This is a thread to mend the wound
We will never get by, not without my blood
All that I have I offer you
Cast aside the weight of the sinner

You’re far beyond the earth while I sink in the flood
Rivers of love
Just to drown in my blood
Draw yourself inside the sun and know that you are home

The fog is in my eyes, and I can’t see you anymore
It’s in my throat, and I can’t taste your air
Sometimes, you are the only part of me I don’t hate
But you, I will love
In your cloud-dance, your chin lifting in the dawn, your skin warm in my eyes
Can you see me through the fog?
Am I there beyond the mist?
If you can hear me, I promise
I’ll meet you in the clouds, my love
I promise. I’m coming back
