The Wild Kindness

Lyrics

I wrote a letter to a wildflower On a classic nitrogen afternoon Some power that hardly looked like power Said I'm perfect in an empty room Four dogs in the distance Each stands for a kindness Bluebirds lodged in an evergreen altar I'm gonna shine out in the wild silence I'm gonna shine out in the wild silence I'm gonna shine out in the wild silence And spurn the sin of giving in Oil paintings of x-rated picnics Behind the walls of medication, I'm free Every fallen leaf in a compact mirror Hits a target that wе can't see Grass grows in the icebox The yеar ends in the next room It is autumn and my camouflage is dying Instead of time, there will be lateness Instead of time, there will be lateness Instead of time, there will be lateness And let forever be delayed I dyed my hair in a motel void Met the coroner at the Dreamgate Frontier He took my hand and said, "I'll help you, boy If you really want to disappear" Four dogs in the distance Each stands for a silence Bluebirds lodged in an evergreen altar I'm gonna shine out in the wild kindness I'm gonna shine out in the wild kindness I'm gonna shine out in the wild kindness And hold the world to its word
