Old Magic

oh we lost be old magic

even tragic could not be a child to this

and when dolphins sink like stones

we will know everyone's reached a higher heaven

for i have seen through your dear dear soul

lolling gowns of velvety brown and bonfire

and i wanna make the run with the coho

up a dying river going hohome

to a higher heaven

and i have seen you watching him

metal and black powder

elk teeth of ivory

the pounding of leather

old coins in his eyes

and amber magic hands

and constellation skin

i have seen you watching him

mmmmmmhmmmm

and we ran through the mule shadows

hand in hand

sorrows in sorrows

chased by plastic deer and tarp spirits

tripping over tools in our pellets

years of dusty praying

you picked a pouch off of your dad's tree

poured it in my mouth to show me

how he'd saved all of your baby teeth

you said special fears they always win like

a river been robbed of it's bend a

braid you just don't want end

a snake who know's he'll never stand

and fingers that can't find their hands a

bead you just can't seem to strand

oh don't you know that feeling?

like someones been stealing

all your kindling

so you tarred the stones to talk

on the fawn fired path you walk

you tarred the flames to talk

on the fawn fired path you walk

you tarred the stones to talk

on the fawn fired path you walk

you tarred the flames to talk

on the fawn fired path you walk

walk with him.
