lyrics

Sable held me in the warm magnetic candlelight
She drew my wrists on a napkin with a fountain pen
She said, “Your hands are becoming like your mother’s
Sapphire veins and lacework bones”
So while I’m peeling the walls away with silver spoons
Pretty Sable, it’s all for you

Some nights Sable swings her feet from my windowsill
A cotton gown beats in luster ‘round the heating vent
And in a gorgeous array of pattern play, the seconds shatter
Like sunlight through a chainlink fence
But when morning comes, she’ll vaporize like water
And leave a ring of salt around my bed

Like daylily dew drops and cigarette ash
And holy script in sidewalk cracks
Peelings of god in a torn up paper bag
Spin with me, Sable, fold me flat

When she begs to sleep at the foot of my bed
She’ll peel the paint off of the walls
And burrow her hands into my sleepy head
And tell me I’m a work of art

Hold me under rolling water
And braid my limbs like willow wicker
Darling, I am only yours

Sable brought me love in a cornucopia
She said, “Pick out any name you like
Everyone is waiting just inside!
Who you gonna lose tonight?”
