A Quiet Darkness

Well Heaven rode my back
And the angels dragged my throne.
Only yesterday.

Only yesterday
I carved out your name.

Only yesterday
I built you a shrine
On the side of the road.
And I shut my eyes
And laid my hands to rest.

In dreams
There's a way 
To die.

Well I towed you from the wreck
Of dimming shadows in my head
Only yesterday.

Only yesterday
I laid you to rest.

Only yesterday
I wept for your shape
In it's endless decay.
And I raised your voice from a stone
With the song of the dead.

In dreams
There's a way
To die.
