I never saw your Northern Lights
I never saw your new Octobers

I never saw your Northern Lights
I never saw your new Octobers
We’re dancing on the deck
A floating discotheque of disbelief
I saw the fire on the television
The DOD or the CIA?
I skulk through the skeleton trees
The birds and the sun have both flown
Speak your truth, spit your doubt
Our love’s in the gutter, they’re bleeding us out
My first and foremost memory
Is staring up in wonder at the wall
On the mantelpiece
There’s a scrap of leather
Is there a me without you
The you that breathes the sum?
The summer set fire to the rain
And fire to my bones
Overhead, are those angels or vultures?
Heavy wings and the hum of decay
