lyrics

Yeah you, late spring Delilah cutting ribbons right on cue
Yeah you, staring right between, I wonder how it feels to never have to look into
But I'm still trying hard to get it back to where its not a one handed prayer
I turn to look and find that you were never there

Yeah you, calling up to see you when you had forgotten to
Yeah you, shooting down the stars, I've come to recognize that painted daggers pointed truth
But I still dont know what it means to settle down
like a tin foil crown I dare to look and find that you are not around

And I never put no meaning in the holy church
using faithful, blind believers like a holy crutch
and I keep saying there's no heaven but I almost find it
every moment that we touch
when we touch, that's enough

And I, split myself in two to consecrate an alibi
and I, never known the peace like the peace of mind I've found with your hand hanging by my side
and thats a peace Ive only known when you are there
like a child thrown in the air
the only truth is when you're really self aware

Micah is one of my favorite songwriters around, and also an all around gentleman and scholar. Both his solo work and his work with Two Cow Garage seem to work their way into my regular music rotation with ease. doug shaw
