The cure for pain is in the pain
So it's there that you'll find me
Until again I forget
And again He reminds me
"Hear my voice in your head
And think of me kindly"
Let me be, let me be
Lowered down like a casket
And buried just below her chest
"Whatever I was searching for
It was never you," she says
The record ended long ago
We go on dancing nonetheless
I opened like a locket
"If you're ever cold," I wrote
"there's warmth inside me
I'm the pocket of an old winter coat."
But where she used to say "I need you."
Now, "I don't"
You'd only make the softest sound
Like sugar pouring into tea
Darling let your self pour down
And dissolve into the Love
Who revealed Himself there quietly to me
Jesus have mercy on us
(Silence before hidden track "I Never Said I was Brave" starts)
You might sleep, but you'll never dream
Onward, progress, or so it seems
You might laugh, but you'll never smile
Come on in and waste away a while
My stomach swears there's comfort there
In the warmth of the blankets on your bed
My stomach's always been a liar
I'll believe it's lies again
No use in saying how I'm sorry
So I'm trying not to speak
I'll sing in silence as I lay beside you
With my face against, against your cheek
When dreams of rings of flowers fade and blur
Giving way to that familiar ill
Come over, come over
Where I'm waiting for you
No use in saying how I'm sorry
So I'm trying not to speak
I'll sing in silence as I lay beside you
My face against, against your cheek
No use in saying (If you'd unlatch the window)
How I'm sorry (If you'd let me... )
So I'm trying (If you'd give me another... )
Not to speak
I'll sing in silence (If you'd forget the pain... )
As I lay beside you (If you'd unlatch the window)
With my face (If you'd let me lay there on your floor)
Against your cheek
