lyrics
1. The Crimson Bride
riding away through the dark,
i saw you believe in yourself, just a spark.
i felt ev’ry hoofbeat between
you with yr horsepower’d handful of light, through the steam.
shivering cold,
curving through the town,
holding the moonlight
up to your cheek...
like a rumor of the crimson bride
hiding in the jimson weed,
potions of poison in both of her hands:
one for the woman, and two for the man.
do you believe
she’d given up tryin
to reckon with the loss
and wrestle the rage,
just to end up unseen?
shake those invisible bones
leaning your body towards a home.
tuning your voice to the stars
turnin’ away from the lights of the evening cars:
arriving from the town,
and settling down
into the night...
the engines as cool as their dreams
hiding with the crimson bride,
as broken machines, no gears in their minds.
drifting away in tendrils of steam.
do you believe
they’ve given up crying,
just like you and me
and wrestle the rage
with tears in their eyes
that end up unseen?
thick is the air that we breathe,
stuck between the layers of sunlight and seeds.
it hasn’t rained here in hours.
the summer’s been arranging the light into leaves, and then flowers
‘till they fall down
steady as the rain
onto the eaves
all over town
where we’ve seen the crimson bride
dragging her veil of night, bleeding from the sun
daylight, feedin’ it to the moon:
o, what a scene.
we cheered her on
for giving us time
to reckon with the loss,
as she wandered around drunk,
dragging behind
ribbons of our dreams.
we’ve seen the crimson bride.
