The Dam At Otter Creek
when all that's left to do is reflect on what's been done this is where sadness breaths the sadness of everyone just like when the guys built the dam at otter creek and all the water backed up deep enough to dive we took the dead man in sheets to the river flanked by love deep enough to dive deep enough to dive be here now we took him there and three in a stretcher made from trees that had passed in the storm leave the hearse behind to leave the curse be here now Selling The Drama and to love: a god and to fear: a flame and to burn a crowd that a name and to right or wrong and to meek or strong it is known, just screem it from the wall i've willed, I've walked, I've read I've talked, I know, I know, I've been here before hey, now we won't be raped hey, now we won't be scarred like that it's the sun that burns it's the wheel that turns it's the way we sing that makes 'em dream and to christ: a cross and to me: a chair I will sit and earn the ransom from up here I Alone it's easier not to be wise and measure these things by your brains I sank into eden with you alone in the church by and by I'll read to you here, save your eyes you'll need them, your boat is at sea your anchor is up, you've been swept away and the greatest of teachers won't hesitate to leave you there, by yourself, chained to fate I alone love you I alone tempt you I alone love you fear is not the end of this! it's easier not to be great and measure these things by your eyes we long to be here by his resolve alone in the church by and by to cradle that baby in space and leave you there by yourself chained to fate oh, now, we took it back too far, only love can save us now, all these riddles that you burn all come runnin back to you, all these rhythms that you hide only love can save us now, all these riddles that you burn yeah, yeah, yeah Iris I liked the way my hand looked on your head in the presence of my knuckles but the beauty of this vision alone just like yesterday's sunset has been perverted by the sentimental and mistaken for love the felix of your truth will always break it and the iris of your eye will always shake it and the armies, the armies I have created will always hate it will always bait you on I liked the way my hand looked on your head in the presence of my struggle but the beauty of this vision alone I can't shake from my tree just yet it keeps invading all my private moments listen to me now Lightning Crashes lightning crashes, a new mother cries her placenta falls to the floor the angel opens her eyes the confusion sets in before the doctor can even close the door lightning crashes, an old mother cries her intentions fall to the floor the angel closes her eyes the confusion that was hers belongs now, to the baby down the hall oh now fell it comin back again like a rollin thunder chasing the wind forces pullin from the center of the earth again I can feel it. lightning crashes, az new mother cries this moment she's been waiting for the angel opens her eyes pale blue colored iris, presents the cirlce and puts the glory out to hide, hide Top I cannot find the lyrics for this song.
