lyrics

When the wind yawns, trash and dirt grumble in the tangled bank
Buses drift forward and a stomach tanks
Horse hooves on top of manholes
Birds dream on telephone poles
Dragonflies cough and spin and sputter through the air

When the leaf falls, it lights on the water to the naval yard
Under a stone bridge with a ceiling charred
Planes painting clouds in the air
Moons and stars sit on the stairs
Tossing their coins and wishes into the sky so blue

Wake, worried sleeper, wake
Your soured dreams it’s time to shake
Window panes shatter by the sun's gentle morning
Buildings sway as grasses in the breeze
Wake, no more old heartache
