Soft Offering (For the Oft Suffering)

[00:15.49] The long knife of the sun rising
[00:22.35] Up the horizon and into our tired eyes
[00:28.66] The spell of night is struck down a second sight
[00:36.31] It's bleeding out
[00:42.58] Anna, can I come and walk you home?
[00:48.27] I'm not gonna want to be alone
[00:53.99] Beat it up when the sunlight comes
[00:59.61] Putting a cut by the clock on the wall
[01:06.30] Take the morning in the coroner's light
[01:10.12] You can have the afternoon, bury the evening too
[01:13.99] Get me together in calm of the night
[01:17.26] When the day is done and the rest is coming on
[01:21.53] Under the pitch and the pull of the moon
[01:25.23] Sweet, silver medicines swim in my temples and
[01:29.15] Bring in the shadows to cover our fall
[01:32.50] When the pain is gone and the rest is coming on .
[01:54.61] You belong out of that uniform
[02:00.34] Out in the streets when everyone else is asleep
[02:06.90] See the way the body sways in empty air
[02:14.44] When there's nobody there, and you don't even care if there is
[02:22.52] Anna, can I be to you like that?
[02:28.18] Cover your shame with a shield of black?
[02:33.91] Cover your body with my trembling hands?
[02:39.63] And you're dancing while I hold them back?
[02:46.32] Go back to morning with the coroner's light
[02:50.13] Have the afternoon, bury the evening too
[02:53.91] Let's hide together in calm of the night
[02:57.24] When the day is done and the rest is coming on
[03:01.58] Under the pitch and the pull of the moon
[03:05.20] Sweet, silver medicines swim in my temples and
[03:09.18] Bring in the shadows to cover our wounds
[03:12.48] When the pain is gone and the rest is coming on
[03:17.15]
