Handkerchiefs

Handkerchiefs I cross the line And see a face that can't be mine Through a long long night To find a place where we all thrive Where every frail thing can survive Where we can live this dream of life In a dim blue light She saw his eyes give up the fight A hand finds mine Traces answers on my spine From malignant to benign In the midnight smell of pine Walk, walk, further than you'll ever know Walk, walk, into the snow A great divide I didn't know her good friend died Drawn in black-light chalk Her ankles tied in flower stalks We need a place where we can talk Just need a place where we can talk Into our handkerchiefs Into both our handkerchiefs Into our handkerchiefs Into both our handkerchiefs Walk, walk into the snow
