Arms

Left your black gloves on my table
Left your dark horse in the stable
Thinking of a way to get you to stay
and i'll promise to
Fight the wind and wait for you
I'm an owl with tired eyes
I'm a scarecrow in disguise

I often go out pacing when all i want to do is stay inside
and look out the window with you

There was a dead grouse in your arms
That was the moment that you lost your charm
An old bear paw sitting in a jar
Under a tree that never grew any leaves
Shake my arms,
Shake my head
I fell asleep in your cobweb
And i'm turning off all the lights tonight
Saw you in a crowded bar, pale with hungry eyes...
