lyrics

I lay
there in white
You could have been kind but were cruel, the limit of you
You cannot throw water on a stone
You cannot draw color from someone
Blind, blind, blind

I lay
there in white
It could have been easy
but I was a fool and I couldn’t see
You cannot pull color from a stone
You cannot draw water from somewhere
Dry, dry, dry

I learned
that I was nothing but time
that I could wait, Our love
like Indian Paintbrush,
red from the sun and the rain so sweet
That was you on better days,
your loving ways

Cruel words
hinge on the sweet
a line that’s pulling on me, stretching time
you made me bare and free as a thorn catching
Sky, sky, sky

I lay
there in white
Trying to forget, trying to forgive
You cannot draw water from a stone
you cannot pull color from someone
blind, blind, blind
