Don't Doubt

Now you don't have a word to call this kind

Of the year made you new and beg it to turn you right

Two dead birds underneath the headlights

Every sound they ever made to call out they are alive

Every piece of me that breaks tryin' to keep from the sight

Of doubt

Don't you doubt

Everybody's seen some winter

Don't you take the dark way out

Don't you doubt

Even your breath is breathin' for another one

Don't you just take the dark way out

Thin wind ringin' in the silver tines

Yeah, it took you by the throat but it wasn't the killin' kind

Now you don't tell it like you used to

Every day left in the dark is gonna come back to you

Every hope left in your heart is waitin' on what you'll do

With doubt

Don't you doubt

Everybody's seen some winter

Don't you take the dark way out

Don't you doubt

Even your blood is beatin' for another one

Don't you just take the dark way out

Don't you doubt

Doubt

The reasons are dead and they're growin' in the ground

So why does it give, why'd it take

Why to have been kissed

Why be mean, why be anything

Just be the man, be the child, be the cold midnight

Soaked in the bones of this town

In the breath in the pink

In the honey taken from that green thing given sweet

In the cold, in the pour

In the want, in the wantin' the sound, even your own body knows

All there is

See the gem

Your hands are lined with all that they ever have
