Remember that one time
A river of red wine
You saw the answer too clear to deny
Then there was sorrow
A thousands tomorrows
How do you follow a feeling so hollow
You've got an echo

There was rain
There was licorice and turpentine and crying
And clumsy hands were slapped away for trying
And most of all
We heard the call

There was blood
And bible songs and chocolate and fever
And the kinds of things you know you'll never know
A rabbit in the mouth of the retriever
And I never wanna know

I drew blood and the sky
Opened up like the heart of desire
Like the dew on lawn
Just before the blaze of the dawn
I drew blood and you were there
With the girl at the top of the stairs
I was paid to belong
To be the on that carries you on
You on

In a fog
I put aside the things I should remember
Like hockey cards and poem shards and clues
And I burned the rest of it right to the embers

I drew blood and the sky
Opened up like the heart of desire
Like the dew on lawn
Just before the blaze of the dawn
I drew blood and you were there
Getting high at the top of the stairs
I was paid to belong
To be the shine that covers you
Never lets the trouble through
The song

Remember that one time
A liter of box wine
The carnival lights and the warm summer air
When you were leaving you told me a feeling
A cherished illusion the love and confusion
I'm glad that I knew you
