Lyrics

There's a fawn with brown eyes A broken hoof from Brooklyn stars A summer night I dreamt I learned how not to speak Let go of words Let go of her to let her be There's a fawn in all my dreams I guard the sun, I guard the moon I don't need sleep With my mouth I shake the leaves Your eyes get wide, you want to leave When I write my clumsy heart Will crack its cage, shoot stars apart Last night I tore through the cupboards The medicine already gone I stumbled past the discovery Waiting and willing for dawn I believe I know what's right What comes into long Brooklyn nights With belief the moon will rise Give to the shore then turn the tide There's a fawn of city trees of sidewalk grass She won't belong, no, not to me There's a fawn with brown eyes A broken hoof from Brooklyn stars A summer night
