EARLY MORNING PARTING SKY

In the month of the coyotes underneath the cold blooded moon
I tricked the love right out of you and we lasted till the blue 
Snowflakes were dispatched by gravity 
And now if you need me I’ll be turning into amber as I close Wolski’

Because all I ever really loved 
Was that early morning parting sky sad and gray as mourning doves

Do I wish I was a good man maybe just a decent guy
Should I come back and try to change, the way the morning dishes dry
The way the host dissolves on your warm tongue
I feel bad that your heart just opened up to me like the first green fronds of a tentative spring 

You were in my dreams again the one shakes me so goddamn hard
And I am broken when I come to, I need a new safe word
To be heard by only you
But then I hear the big rigs out there moving the world around so I better keep moving too

SPOILER—THIS SONG IS ABOUT LOVING AND LEAVING AND LOVING LEAVING
