swayed - joe henry lyrics

Loading...

in a scene from better times
your traitor hangs up right there next to mine
the afternoon shakes down the trees
like they owed it money –hey buddy, please:
get in line—
their promise of green fruit is gone
it’s bruised out there on the lawn;
he who cannot be seduced cannot be saved…
i hang ready to be swayed

our hunger to be new begins
but slips the yoke like it was a second skin;
it’s walking back the shadow moon
as if on a string
a listing black balloon—
that turns its face and mounts the wall
to show a slower way to fall;
oh, you hold me by a thread and fall away…
i stand hungry to be swayed

i’m torn to think this storm will rise
already it’s tattered my sail and thin disguise
i ‘ve bent my song like broken words
could call to me your whirling
skittish birds—
i write to you, dear stranger mine…
but stranger still, the hand of time
has laid its ragged coat across our way…
i lie ready to be swayed
