Caves

You go ahead
There's something I forgot
Walk slow and I'll catch up
Let's hear the stars do their talking
And I used to love caves
Stumble out into that pink sky
Remember that bright hollow Moon?
It showed our insides on our outsides
This town closes down the same time everyday
Put out the smoke in your mind
Let's put all these words away
Let's put all these words away
Now I think I like birds
See them fly from St. Paul
And I go running when the night aches
Hear her every time she calls
Did I hеar something break
Was that your heart or my hеart
Like when the Earth shakes
Then the silence that follows
This town closes down the same time everyday
Put out the smoke in your mind
Let's put all these words away
Let's put all these words away
Let's put all these words away
Let's put all these words away
