The New Spring - Ballad Of The Unseeing Eye

It was New Year's Eve 2006
On the balcony, when she laughed and said to him
The bird in me is fleeing
My heart is lost
And my eyes are tired of seeing

Drifting out of some uncomfortable sleep, he gets up and opens the window
Feels the dream slipping away and outside a soft summer wind blows
Leaning up against the street's subtle roar
There's a man pissing outside the grocery store
He heard that she had moved to southern France
Where the winds are whispy and the villagers dance

He imagined a home
A garden raised from a stone
Obviously hiding
Where the heart knows

In the garden things can change any hour that she's gone
Something will be out of place, but not quite wrong:
The wisterias towering above the daisies, a closed bed of roses
At the market place she turns and crosses the square
There's a woman yelling at everyone there
She heard that he had moved down to Berlin
To a friend's apartment, carried by the wind

She imaged a soul
A single part raising the whole
Obviously hiding
Where the heart knows
Where the heart knows
Where everything grows

It's like when you wake up and the house is alive
Breathing slowly
The furniture
And the unseeing eye
Is awake now
And I know where you are
Scattered like hours at dawn
Or spread like apples all across the lawn
Or just poured on like honey
Honey
How do the fingers part?
And for all of our massive brains
Why is our love
Cinnamon
Soft as a kitten

Isn't it mine?
Isn't it mine?
Isn't it mine?
Isn't it mine?
Isn't it mine?
Isn't it mine?
Isn't it mine?
Isn't it mine?
Isn't it mine?
Isn't it mine?
Isn't it mine?
Isn't it mine?
Isn't it mine?
