lyrics

Sweet love, I write you from a midnight
After a long, cold walk toward the starlight
Now I can go on

The painful wonder, over and under, back stiff from the load
The darkness rattled and dogged my boyhood
& I wished I'd stayed at home

Till somebody's fingers played my keys
and now I can go on
Somebody's garden tended to me, and now I can go on

Now guitar strings buzzing without even touching them
From the white light of such mercy
This new inheritance - spaciously spirited - cries it'd always heard me

I'm washing linen; I'm hanging pictures
and now I can go on
I'm placing your hairbrush by the open window
and now I can go on
I will not forget deciphering the most horrifying of certainties
Where any illness I was suffering from was a twisted arm behind me
And there were killers - real killers - and I was unaccompanied
But now I'm leaning toward your finding me and making new memories

I sing this shirtless
I can see Memphis and now I can go on
I press my mouth against a feathered benevolence
Now I can go on

Sweet love, I write you from a midnight
and now I can go on
After a long, cold walk toward the starlight
now I can go on
