Grass Windows

We found each other blown between the trees Where the moons want me to be swallowed by the sea Like we finally saw the colors of the world We grew the garden snake within the weeds Laid each other long across a flat backstreet Like we finally saw the colors of the world We felt the sun leave us for the west And the lips always folding farther from the breast Like we finally saw the colors of the world We ran a white flag up the mast Puckered up like a widow gleaming in the grass Like we finally saw the colors of the world Like we saw black, like we saw black and blue You pressed up in the foolish snow up, cover loose Like we saw black, like we saw brown, green, too You saw it often, but it's over too soon Like we saw black, running a million times I found you in the fundamental with the mind Like we saw black, lying in gold and white I love this song and trying to love me all night We threw our money to the river stones Led each other to the woods to wander back alone Like we finally saw the colors of the world We let the taste linger in the mouth South Chicago never gave us more to sing about Like we finally saw the colors of the world
