Such a Small Love

Mist falls and his voice cracks from the morning Flowers and my body feels like lead Someone should have stopped the birds from singing today Hammers from striking nails into clay Her face penetrates the blue gray morning Her eyes pregnant pools produce a tear Someone should have shouted you had gone in her ear That summer was stolen away Such a small love Such a little tear You would laugh so loud If you could see us here With my one suit Badly pressed and worn Like a child left In the world alone He speaks I don't hear a word he's saying Hang on to the pine trees and the snow Reach out grab the memories that are left for your hand They'll help you get by for a while Such a small love Such a little tear Is this all that's left On your cheek so pale His shallow half lit eyes His rotted teeth grown on A drunken madman nights Ending up in hjail With night fallings Drenched in day-glo red Words collided Things we left unsaid Perfumed pillows Girls that clung so near Such a small love Such a little tear
