weekend bender in the city
lyrics
Oh my angel, have you come to take me home?
My head's tied in knots in your garden entryway
You ride crescent waves anywhere you go
I was sailing over sadder shores today
Let the bells ring at dawn, we'll keep on
You must have swallowed up Chicago in a day (x2)
You must have swallowed up Chicago as you laid across Ohio
You swallowed up Chicago on your way
Drunk on moonlight, blown by the wind of the city
Amber gold has us spinning, spiraling down
Into the warming sun of your grace and your pity
You opened me once and I've never had a doubt
I'm still holding your presence in my mouth
You must have swallowed up Chicago...etc.
I never heard your story
I never heard you spell it out
But your words were never for me
They were meant for the stars and the moon and the rain and the clouds
Your cutting quips, your shaking fits
I'm drowning in the riptide of your iridescent blues
Oh my grief, cover me
The world waits to see what fascination you will choose
You must have swallowed up Chicago...etc.
