Born Of Longing - Simon Joyner[00:00:00]

A baby begins chewing on letters on wood blocks[00:00:19]

To get to the root of the problem at hand[00:00:24]

All your language is splinters it can't stick together[00:00:34]

When you open your mouth you start loosing your head[00:00:40]

And you still can't explain why the sky is blue[00:00:49]

There is nothing so sweet as the milk of your mother[00:01:01]

That's how you bounce back when the bough breaks[00:01:07]

Now you've got these two eyes that go from wandering to wise[00:01:17]

Depending on the wind and how it's feeling today[00:01:22]

And you've been thinking about swimming upstreams[00:01:32]

Are you embarressed by legends of cowboys and maidens[00:01:43]

Do you remember how David caught a giant on his tongue[00:01:49]

The light through the window holds the dust of past heroes[00:01:59]

And they're never destroyed only scattered around[00:02:04]

By the drunk wind spilling his guts[00:02:14]

So a child lights a fire just to look in the mirror[00:03:04]

For soon he'll be wearing his Papa's grey beard[00:03:10]

All his days in the country full of flame and born of longing[00:03:19]

Into the haze of the cityscape they all but disappear[00:03:24]

Like horses running out of prairie[00:03:34]

If the stars can't quit dreaming[00:03:46]

And if the sun is still sleeping[00:03:48]

Then beholden they'll swallow the sad empty space[00:03:51]

While the moon casts her shadows and spells on new lovers[00:04:01]

Who must blush as they brush the hair from their faces[00:04:06]

And the crickets know nobody is immune[00:04:15]

You assume that I'm wounded because[00:04:26]

I'm hunchbacked and hooded[00:04:29]

But I've got a dream just like any honest man[00:04:31]

I might keep it hidden so sweet is my burden[00:04:40]

But if someone tried to steal it[00:04:46]

They'd have to cut off my hands[00:04:48]

For it's as heavy and as precious as gold[00:04:55]
