joe henry - flag lyrics

take that noise out in the street,
this rubble out from under my feet
no rest for the weary in here,
and make a fuss, you’re a volunteer.
these days, they lord above me
growing mean as they grow shorter,
like a flag on a closing border now…
closing right behind you

in a crowd down off the hill,
full of bloodl-st and good will,
we carried pride above our heads
like a flag we could cheer to wake the dead.
and when we could go no further,
and were drowning on a desert,
we raised our flag to follow the breath of god…
but it was blowing every which way.

i loved you long before i knew
love is something one decides to do.
my vanity and fear conspired belief
that love’s just a mirror for a thief.
so when you held me tight against you
and i mistook your heart for thunder,
and like a flag, hid behind and under you…
who could blame me?

(when you held me tight against you
and i mistook your heart for thunder,
like a flag, i hid behind it
like a flag, i’m hiding under you)
now i hang my clothes out to dry
like waves of surrender, they fly.
the wh-r- of this world looks old and played
still she peeks from the alley
like a waiting bride’s maid.
laugh or bleed as you need to
who of us doesn’t know already?
every flag flies like confetti now…
