My love, I am the speed of sound I left them motherless, fatherless Their souls they hang inside-out from their mouths But it's never enough
I want you
Carved your name across three counties Ground it in with bloody hides Their broken necks will line the ditch 'til you stop it, stop it Stop this madness
I want you
I have waited with a glacier's patience Smashed every transformer with every trailer 'til nothing was standing 65 miles wide Still you are nowhere Still you are nowhere Nowhere in sight
Come out to meet me Run out to meet me Come in to the light
Climb the boxcars to the engine through the smoke into the sky Your rails have always outrun mine So I pick them up and crash them down In a moment close to now Cuz I miss, I miss, I miss, I miss, I miss, I miss, I miss I miss how you'd sigh yourself to sleep
When I raked the springtime across your sheets
My love, I am the speed of sound I left them motherless, fatherless Their souls they hang inside-out from their mouths But it's never enough
My love I'm an owl on the sill in the evening But morning finds you Still warm and breathing
This tornado loves you What will make you believe me? This tornado loves you What will make you believe me?
