Message Sent (Through My Tears) Songtext

von Neutral Milk Hotel

Watch the wind, blow your cigarette smoke
Through my window and out to the sky
This message sent, drilled into your heart
And now the ink will fade before the night is through, I fear

Where were you when the cracks were forming?
Where were you when it all came down?
You were sleeping safe that morning
Holding insecurities that burrowed underneath your skin and fade away

All along, another twisted moment's gone
That will never pass this way again
And through it all, I thought there'd be some shred of hope
But faith, I've found, will do you in
And all the words that build up to
A bridge of hate between me and you
Will stumble, crack, and fail to fly
And now, my only one, where have you gone?
Are you another heart that I must say goodbye, my dear?

Where were you when the cracks were forming?
Where were you when it all came down?
You were sleeping safe that morning
Holding insecurities that burrowed

Goldaline, my dear, we will fold and freeze together
Far away from here, there is sun and spring and green forever
But now we move to feel for ourselves inside some stranger's stomach
Place your body here, let your skin begin to blend itself with mine

Waits for all the day
Don't you ever leave me
All the dreams that I -
Don't you ever leave
