it took a night so cold wind ripped through the clothes hanging on the line cuz last week was like springtime it took a pole of iron miles and miles of wire until the street went dark from the highway to the park sometimes we take our turns singing out our words speaking out our notes and let them fly like smoke it took a harmless man with broken, bloody hands it took a day so black to show me the way back you had a fitful sleep of missed opportunity woke with a nothing sound silence all around it took a blacked out block the frozen hands of clocks cool river in your dream crossing carefully I wanted to be no one hidden in the sun shameful and unclean needed to be seen it took a night so cold wind ripped through the clothes hanging on the line cuz last week it was springtime.
