Jeff Buckley
(music by curtis fowlkes, lyrics by ray dobbins and roy nathanson)
From the 1994 jazz passengers album in love.
Slow birds
No breeze
Iron hearts
Rust in streams
Long march
Small crimes
Soft words
W h I s p e r
Its time to come home - your eyes
To bring back - your charms
To sit real still
In my arms
Clocks tick
Trees pound
Lions roar
On empty streets
Long lists
In black and white
(s h h) red words
That read like the fourth of july
Youre home
Uhuh
Youre home
In my arms
