Between Two Pillars: Saw You Smile

Saw You Smile

Floating on a whiff
Sleepwalk like snow
Rainwater lilacs down your hair
Bloodying a tree
Shed my velvet off
Wrote a hundred songs about one night

(Chorus)
Thought I saw you smile and knew what it meant
But something you said really left me bent
Thought I saw you smile…
I thought I saw you smile

Following your ship
Through rock and fog
Harboring a grudge I walk the shore
Unbutton my shirt
Up a mountain trail
Pine needles comb my whiskered face

(Repeat chorus)

Can’t you see where I’ve been?
Can’t you be where I am?



I can’t be the boy you loved afar
You can’t be the girl that I dream of
Bloodying a tree
Shed my velvet off
Wrote a hundred songs about one night

(Repeat chorus)

Can’t you see where I’ve been?
Can’t you be where I am?
Can’t you see where I’ve been?
Can’t you be where I am?
