We were walking through the ruins
On a yellow morning; with my pockets full
And spirits high
There's something stirring
There's something waiting outside
The bricks are bleeding mysteries
A film noir expectation of a meeting
By an open fire place feeding red books
To the cold, to old ash
I still have the dirt on my hands
I'm the heartbeat in the staircase
Rattling banisters, rising through a spiral
Back in sober air
We were walking through the ruins
On a yellow morning; with my pockets full
And spirits high
There's something stirring
There's something waiting outside
Cattle fields and temples
Lining my horizons
On a road, at a rest stop
Flying through these old lands
Tired only part time
A liar notes by candle light
Seven thoughts for these men
Six more than I wrote
Simple symbols, cold hands
