lyrics

The night devouring dawn comes rapping
like the raven at the shrouds
over my eyes that feel like rags
twisted dry. My brain is a crowd
that has suddenly got out of hand –
slaves gunning for their master
inside my temples alabaster,
crumbling every year a little faster.

Morning have mercy.
Come kindly for me.
Do not slam the door of bright
where the day and night divide.

I am a flock without a pastor.
The bed is a sideways tree.
The bedside window throws its alms
of light like stones upon me.

Morning have mercy.
Come kindly for me.
Do not slam the door of bright
where the day and night divide, divide, divide.
Where the day and night divide...
