gratuitous lyrics

[cimorene]

hollsk is making icons, so i'm looking at song lyrics. specifically from sarah slean, a brilliant canadian pianist/songstress. choice ones:

I'm leaning out the window
Gonna catch the August rain
I'm gonna fill your mouth up
Make you live again
-weight

You are what they call the human season
You are all the alphabet in one
You are every colour of confusion
You are all the silence I've become
-my invitation

Love me for stupid reasons; I like those most
Wide-eyed but worth believing, God knows
-my invitation


What did I give to you
What did you give to me
A nothing-trail of silences that warp in the rain
-weight

Once I took the universe to dinner
When she failed to yield the earth's demands
'Oh,' she said 'you mean that little ant farm?
I'm alright, dear, I've got other plans'
-universe

And we're sad because we think we don't belong here
We're guilty 'cause we think we should be stars
-universe

I've returned to the place of my beginning
And I can see her turning off the sun
-universe

She has such an awful lot of soldiers
Quite a lovely army all her own
Night and day they stand before the fortress
Very safe but very all alone
-my invitation

Me, I'm a thief
I'm a falling star
I'm a photograph taken
From where you are
-me, i'm a thief

Always wondered why your eyes closed
Don't you want to see me closing mine?
Heaven, help me, I'll devour him
See me drawing out his spine
-high

How many nights did you lock up in side of that
Terrible lonely streak and those beautiful eyes
Trying to find a warm place to hide?
-before your time

His mouth full
of loose teeth
I see, I see
The liar is weeping
And down on his knees
-awake soon
