The Warm Wind And A Blinding

from Gaols by ibid.

/

lyrics

I've seen between my ribs before
But I've never been so pale
All this love that's held in me
Will slip out in the bitter sea

Remind me: when again will I feel the warm wind?
When again will I be jumped in?
When again will I receive a line or call or note—
Not a dreamt-up ghost and not a grinned-out hoax
But a solid other? Remind me:
When again will I know the wonder?

If peace of mind is one thing
Well this is quite another
If my rabbit eyes don't see too well
Forgive them, they've been shuttered

If it's a blinding that I'm in for
Oh, let it be from light

A hundred flies are hovering
Not one has eaten anything
For days
So don't go just yet

Startle me please, I'm begging you to
Please, I'm begging you to startle me
Please, I'm kneeling
