joe henry - invisible hour lyrics

Loading...

i left the yard then came back in
i drank up your bathtub gin—
and though i lived, it left me weak
but i raise myself back up to speak…
for it hit me hard, the mandolin
that cried just there inside your door—
and though it left me high and dry
i know too soon i’ll ask for more

oh i’ve come back to plead and dance
to forgive us both all in advance

salt and sugar, tooth and nail
tongue and groove, and all for sale;
thoughts and prayers, words and deeds
bruised and broken, spilling seeds—
tar and feathers, clocks and spoons
falling shoes and flashing signs;
fits and starts, and hearts and moons
that wane come either rain or shine

oh i’ve come back to plead and dance
to forgive us both all in advance

we all come into this world
scared and bare, blue and curled—
we all bring the knife we need
to sate our mouths and not concede
the love that stands a moving bridge
where blood moves under skin and bone—
to feel a hum and come alive
in bodies that are not our own

oh i’ve come back to plead and dance
to forgive us both all in advance
