I Hold Your Light

Parlour magician

Saw me in half

Pull me from your hat

Break my body, break my back

Drag me through wives, lawns and suburbs

You the great destroyer of my childhood

Like a ship that was lost in a storm

I will lie in my grave and stretch out my arms

I will lay this body down

I will lay this body down

When the evening of judgement has come

When all the stars in the sky come undone

I will lay this body down

I will lay this body down

On the miry road

I hold your light

That bursts the banks

Of the rivers of my limbs

Brain set on fire

In a flavour of the celluloid

You’re my odyssey, my glory

My last chance at reality
