Neko Case

Oh lie, I thought you were
golden, I thought you were
wise. Caught you
returning to the house you caught
fire. But I know that
I was your
Favorite and I said
Amen.
Wise, found favorin'
heaven and I sat at your
side. But I never felt
sorry for those shimmering
lies. When I laid down and
cried I was
faking. And I said
amen.
Last night I dreamt that I hit a deer with my
car.
Blood from his heart spilled out onto my dress and was
warm.
He begged me to follow but
legions of sorrow
defied me.
Oh lie, I thought you were
golden, I thought you were
wise. When I caught you
returning to the house you caught
fire. But I know that
I was your
Favorite and I said
Amen.
