eva you smell like a river and i must knit your holes with thimbles
or else you can suck the blood from my thumbs
you taste of cherries in a neon field of longing
just like a city girl at the cinema
all wild and blue
and if this liquor can assuage the aches of the day
i will be soft enough not to turn you away
and all these feelings are too messy to believe
i need someone pure to make them clean
and i will be a monk to the cause
i'll count my breaths and find the good in everyone
or i will despair and withdraw and build a life of infrequent pleasures
in the heartbreak brick of a tenement, you crawled out of your body and into my arms
i saw the angels on the fire escape with their sewer lid hearts
shooting up with the months we shared before we were ever apart
and the pain made you hate me because i couldn't save you and we slept alone in the dark
you made me some cds to remind me how different things can be
you said the nature of a sunset is the beauty in ending
would you still love me if we lived in the country, if every whim was not satisfied
where you reap what you sow and only the wolves know why you cry
because out here there's nothing to do but stare and there's a chance that we'll grow old tonight
there are roaches in the shower next to the dish-filled sink
and your brother's in the next room, i know he's listening
because these ghosts of new york are sleeping between my sheets
they keep me awake and they don't leave room for any other dreams
