Laughing Lover

Lyrics

Crucify the blinding sky for light Love's love is like a lightning rod Howlin' wind has been hurtin' my head Dead dreamers in a burning car Your mind is a diamond, blue and green Shining out through your eyes like falling leaves When you open your mouth a swarm of bees will appear My dear, steer clear, have no fear For you know just what they call you here: You're the laughing lover covered in tears Steal away the sun the moon and stars Start simple with a woman's voice Wisdom lingers on the fingers of the fortress Like a lazy ghost Your mind is a dragon of dying bird Like to circle the flames singing words unheard When your death like a thread pulls you in and your lover appears My dear, it's clear, have no fear For you know just what they call you here: You're the laughing lover covered in tears Sanctify the blinding sky for light Weaves wonders out of bits of clay Howlin' wind has been hurtin' my head Breaking bread but in a gentle way Your mind is a diamond, blue and green Shining out through your eyes like falling leaves When you open your mouth a swarm of bees will appear My dear, it's clear, have no fear For you know just what they call you here: You're the laughing lover covered in tears
