Fallow

There is a playful dog by the train today
And he begs attention from the patterned man
Greying at his face
Unordinary days
The features barely change
Bigger than you know
Headlights come
Canary cave
You burrow on

There is a playful dog by the train today
And I’ve been waiting for a long, long year
There is no changing time
They let the bombs decide
Now we’re all alone
Headlights come to take me back or take me home
That city shadow
Those fields of fallow, dizzy, spinning earth

When you come to, I’ll be here
I'll be here
Won’t you come too?
I’ll be here
I'll be here

It’s all one second of life now
Like a flash that’s falling all down
In the city shadow
In those fields of fallow, spinning earth

My god’s hand is a rolling boulder
I built a cabin at the bottom of the hill
My god’s tongue is a silver soldier
And I am the trigger on that rifle
I am safe in this sound
I could try to pick it out
But love is all around
If you’re still listening, let me out

In the city shadow
In those fields of fallow
In the city shadow
