In the darkness
After the cocaine lights
I will miss you
More than ever
And to color my eyes into rose
Is to ask of my beaten bones
To be less of meat and stone
And more of feather
But lord they're rolling me away
Ain't they rolling me away
Don't they roll oh oh oh
In the morning in the kitchen
I can hear my own blood clicking
So I stand there and I listen
Til the glowing begins
There is light that pours sweet from new hips
There is beer that pours sweet through my lips
There is gold where the cold button sits
It's just a showy amen
And in the hallway, in a slip
She says 'hey, don't you like my newest trick'
And I say "yeah that's a pretty good trick
Would you show me again'
And lord I truly am awake
And lord, truly I am afraid
And, lord, truly I remain…
In the darkness
After the cocaine lights
I will miss you
With no warning
I will recover my sense of grace
And rediscover my rightful place
Yes and cover my face
With the morning
