Sinew

Rest like you belong here
With your damp hair
With your chest heaving
Soar out over the long land
With your cold hands
To watch the plains receding

Waves up off of the pavement
Will carry you in
It's like your sweat is cleaning
You swallowed the sinew
My body passed through
Before I began breathing

When the night falls and the light dawns
Off each other's bodies, now you see
When the land falls and the tide crawls
Off each other's bodies, you're in me

Drawn out like the Laurentiens
Out through the window
Color the grace in our age
Peer down into the craters
Under the lost lakes
Where clarity is buried

Waves up off of the pavement
Will carry you in
It's like your sweat is cleaning
You swallowed the sinew
My body passed through
Before I began breathing

When the night falls and the light dawns
Off each other's bodies, now you see
When the land falls and the tide crawls
Off each other's bodies, you're in me

Now you see
How you're in me
In me
Now you see
How you're in me
In me

Waves up off of the pavement
Will carry you in
It's like your sweat is cleaning
You swallowed the sinew
My body passed through
Before I began breathing
