lyrics

She wakes up this morning
with a stranger in her bed
stares blankly at the curtains
swaying over her head
just outside a city bus
toss smoke into the sky
the stairs in the hallways cough
the radiators sigh

fruit flies on the windowsill
flirting with his clothes
steam curls off his shoulder
looks just like the promise of a road
that she could take
to escape the prison of herself
and so swan dove Icarus
or so how he fell

as the city sinks behind her
the mountains grew before
as mountains brings her to her feet
the desert shows a door
to Montana skies where she cries
for they open her eyes
to show that she was living
as if she already died

as salmon fight the current
returning where their born
as geese migrate up north
though their wings be torn
as he was bound to leave one day
just as he's done before
for he always was a stranger
and he will be evermore

She wakes up this morning
with a stranger in her bed
stares blankly at red curtains
swaying gently over head
just outside a city bus
tosses smoke into the sky
the stairs in the hallways cough
the radiator sighs
