Milky Way

The wind has carried us too far
Has blown the Moon down
And the snow fills up the dark
Provo hits so hard
Some dogs are barking down the street
You know my body has the marrow as the meek
Caught between your teeth
A frozen stretch of tablecloth
A million miles to reach across

Under the Milky Way is desolate
Wear me like a burning star
Over the desert plain is wilderness
Find me in this desperate heart
Find this heart
Find this heart

A veil can always hide the bride
We built this fire and it smolders every night
Just behind our eyes we dream of dogs out in the cold
They run forever and their mouths are cracking stone
They call each other home
Way off in the corners of the bed
Could we just sing our star instead?

Under the Milky Way is desolate
Wear me like a burning star
Over the desert plain is wilderness
Find me in this desperate heart
Find this heart
Find this heart
The wind has carried us too far
