the silent sun
y el cielo donde cuelga
i can see it through the top of my collapsing head
i see your soul
another cloud a drifting
hide the mountain and the hungry ghost that
makes it his bed.
it's like the rain
falling in the desert
you been dry so long
a little bit could bring it all down
she's in the car
hands in her pockets
looking hard to see
if there ain't no one else around
i used to think
that i had all the time i needed
that i would always be accounted for
but know i see the devil's always right behind me
i don't leave friends in darkened houses no more
llorona wails
fling into the sea
can you hear her lonely weeping
through the skeleton trees
the bells they ring
chiming down the canyon
when it's time to light the candles and to set the dead free.
there was a time
it would have torn your heart in two
if i thought that i was getting something more
but now i see i shine the light for lovers
and i don't leave friends in darkened houses no more.
