The Callendar Hung Itself Lyrics

The Callendar Hung Itself lyrics

Does he kiss your eyelids in the morning when you start to raise your
head?
And does he sing to you, incessantly, from the space between your bed
and wall?
Does he walk around all day at school, with his feet inside your
shoes?
Looking down every few steps to pretend he walks with you?
Oh,
Does he know that place below your neck that's your favorite to be
touched?
And does he cry through broken sentences like, "I love you far too
much"?

Does he lay awake listening to your breath?
Worried you smoke
too many cigarettes?
Is he coughing now?
On a bathroom floor?
For
every speck of tile
There's a thousand more
You won’t ever
see
But most hold inside yourself
Eternally

Well, I drug your
ghost across the country
And we plotted out my death
In every city,
memories would whisper,
"Here is where you rest."

I was determined in
Chicago
But I dug my teeth into my knees
And I settled for a
telephone
Sang into your machine,

"You are my sunshine,
My only
sunshine.
You are my sunshine,
My only sunshine."

And I kissed a
girl with a broken jaw
That her father gave to her
She had eyes bright
enough to burn me;
They reminded me of yours
And in a story told, she was
a little girl in a red-rouge, sun-bruised field
And there were rows of ripe
tomatoes, where a secret was concealed
And it rose like thunder
Clapped
under our hands
And it stretched for centuries
To a diary entry’s
end
Where I wrote,

"You make me happy,
Oh, when skies are
gray.
You make me happy
Oh, when skies are gray, gray, gray."

Well
the clock’s heart it hangs inside its open chest
With its hands
stretched towards the calendar hanging itself
But I will not weep
For
those dying days
For all the ones who've left
There's a few that
stayed
And they found me here
And pulled me from the grass
Where I was
laid
