You found me in your dream (The same way you did when we met) The words past your lips were silenced on your fingertip And floated into space I carved them into stone inside every song I've made Death is a slow parade I'll fall in line someday and walk beside you Tiny dancing doll, don't you spin out of my hand Headline of the day says you found your place to land Spilled across the floor, now I understand You carried that weight so long Some small bouquet Gathered for their beautiful display So child-like Cicadas will sing From the tree to their lovers: Come find me in the leaves Through the night A few cicadas still sing Just for birds to devour in the morning Tiny dancing doll, watched you spin out of my hand Shattered hourglass: All that's left of you is sand Spilled across the floor, now I understand You carried that weight so long
