I Don't Leave Friends In Darkened Houses

the silent sun 
y el cielo donde cuelga 
i can see it through the top of my collapsing head 

i see your soul 
another cloud a drifting 
hide the mountain and the hungry ghost that 
makes it his bed. 

it's like the rain 
falling in the desert 
you been dry so long 
a little bit could bring it all down 

she's in the car 
hands in her pockets 
looking hard to see 
if there ain't no one else around 

i used to think 
that i had all the time i needed 
that i would always be accounted for 
but know i see the devil's always right behind me 
i don't leave friends in darkened houses no more 

llorona wails 
fling into the sea 
can you hear her lonely weeping 
through the skeleton trees 
the bells they ring 
chiming down the canyon 
when it's time to light the candles and to set the dead free. 

there was a time 
it would have torn your heart in two 
if i thought that i was getting something more 
but now i see i shine the light for lovers 
and i don't leave friends in darkened houses no more.
