Mending Wall

Send "Mending Wall" Ringtone to your Cell
standing in a pose
shoes in your hand
it's not the same
it's not the same

paper walls burn brown
you glance down
and your arms hang

that wasn't love
i know what was
i know the consequence

you moved your mouth
the mending wall
the small pretense
the small pretense

standing where you are
standing still
in the stratosphere

singing in the car
trying to fill
this atmosphere
this atmosphere

standing on your clothes
you close your eyes
you idolize the young

the wall burns blue
and dawn sneaks through
another sun
another sun

you try to sing

you try to sing
the things you thought
were understood
(it was understood)

the understated
the silver-plated
neighborhoods
(it was understood)
