Midas Tongue

Devil make the water warm and the fruit trees cold
And for us to taste them all
Little heart, I poured your wine
And you poured mine
Heaven isn’t always kind
Saying stars are far away
And the sunset’s grey
Wind is in the heavy wings and the light stone sings
Halos and the nightfall’s free
Falling off for you and me
A halo is a band of gold
And we both have one of those
God is waving on the shore
With a come his words
Disappear and reemerge
Even borrow love is sung in a Midas Tongue
Little heart I knew you well
You were killing my kind
When I lost you in the tide
Sing a star for all that glows in the undertow
Halos and the nightfall’s free
Falling off for you and me
A halo is a band of gold
And we both have one of those
