September - Live From The Lot

Into this strange elastic world
 Pontus kindly gave up a pearl
 Of his eternal stone and mud
 Ain't she lovely bone and blood
 Born of the sea
 A thousand miles away from me
 A court of angels, a ward of the sun
 A future forming, a curse undone
 Under our softly burning lamp she
 Takes her time
 Telling stories of our possible lives
 And love is the ink in the well when her body writes
 I've been selfish and full of pride
 She knows deep down there's a little child
 But I've got a good side to me as well
 And it's that she loves in spite of everything else
 A song in the tree has distracted her mind
 Some other curious form of life
 Has made its presence to her known
 And she coos so gently, soft and low
 Her shining face in a million reflections
 On tiny raindrops that fall in a veil
 Over our city like notes from above
 It overwhelms me, just ain't that tough
 Its not that the darkness can't touch our lives
 I know it will in time, but she's no ordinary valentine
 And know when the sun goes down she sheds a darling light
 I've been selfish and full of pride
 She knows deep down there's a little child
 But I've got a good side to me as well
 And it's that she loves in spite of everything else
