Time Before Mourning

As I've stared at the forest so long It started to remind me of you In a lonely spot, I looked over the bluff I thought, "My God, how you would love this view" So I reach out when I miss you You say it's not enough Love that's true Oh Single cell collapsing You'll hold my hand, you'll hold your scarf Right hand on your cigarette Isn't trust like an angel's touch? So sweet and loving Man, you're such a pretty one Fireworks above us A time before mourning A time before mourning A time before mourning A time before mourning You say, "Hang on, hang on" You're getting tired of it I know, I know It's just the mood of the weather Or something, something more And it's brain storm, brain storm You're feeling foggy In the night time I called I said just love me some more You said just love me some more Single cell collapsing You'll hold my hand dear you'll hold your spark Right hand on your cigarette Isn't trust like an angel's touch? So sweet and loving Man, you're such a pretty one Fireworks above us It's a time before mourning A time before mourning A time before mourning A time before mourning You told me once of this magnificent stained-glass window At the top of the stairs in your parent's old house The one from the before times How the light would bend to the will of the glass Letting itself be altered and shaped Until it hit its original note, it's god given purpose There are still times that I think of you as that window and me the light How taken was I with every word and action Moved, repurposed, shifted, us willingly in love That's all I think about now Come close, it's day break and yearn for those golden waves
