You
You and I made a pact
A deal that as we lay dying
We'd think about each other then
And smile as we're taken in
I
I listened like a little child
To the story of your earthbound pilot
He plummeted so violent
A parachute not opening
And rushing to oblivion
He broke into that knowing grin
And I
I think about that a lot
'Cause a lot is what I've not got
And a smile is what I least expect
In the clutches of this darkness
You
You, I was surprised to hear
Your birdsong velvet in my ear
The phone broke its silent stint
And I pulled the cord and I needed it
You billowed like a bowl of silk
And slowed me from my ruining
