Dark Tears

My camera doesn't lie to me I see dark tears behind its eye My camera doesn't lie to me I see dark tears behind its eye It looks backwards on my future Already in the sweet by and by The rambler vines are climbing They lock their arms across my way The rambler vines are climbing They lock their arms across my way Blood lilies tell my secrets Like they were the time of day Your body speaks the broken street Swinging as you go Your body speaks the broken street Swinging as you go Sometimes words escape me But there's a rhythm to all we know Some take wine for water Some make bread from stone Some take love for granted Like they'll never be alone I walk the Shadow River And the dead don't mind at all Their memories just grow stronger And their stories twice as tall Out along the darkest bank I can't see your boat from here Out along the darkest bank I can see your boat from here I'm going to stand out on the water Till one of us does disappear
