Dead Blue Sky

from The Birds in the Black Barn by Marlena

lyrics

There you were on the stairwell
with that knife in your hand
where you cut out a hare's heart
with the warmth of a logician.

You said now, please don't worry
about those sirens piercing your mind
because I'm taking this one with me
and lying down along the creek side.

Under the dead blue sky.

Lie some more won't you
city girl communing with an ancient light
that you draw around the both of us
to keep out the outside.

But to shelter like rabbits underground
is a beautiful old lie.
Turn around climb the stairs and
find the sun the one that binds our lives.

Under the dead blue sky.
