lyrics

Like a sparrow at rest
While the wind sweeps your nest
It's easy to close your eyes
And with a snow-covered kiss
And the dawn's rising breast
I can't help but let you lie

Black boots by the door
The busted seams watch from the floor
And my coffee cup near
It's the best rainy day of the year
Like black sands with glass polished blue
I've got to get you

See the night's neon sign
In the town's wrinkled lines
The street's got so many eyes
And the pitchers have ears
When the strangers so near
Sit and spit words and lies

Stories cycle along
The jukebox plays all the same songs
And the conversation's vein
Predicts this night will turn out the same
But I can't help but pick up a cue
I've got to get you

Rippling dreams of the smoke-crowded room
And birds spilling out into flight
And I'll make no excuse to the black starry sky on the roof
For a sparrow that sings to the moon
I've got to get you
