Certain Slant of Light Songtext

von Vigilantes of Love

Gather up these weary bones
Another day to muster
Yeah, twisted wreckage spent
Held in strictest confidence
Lamp burning in the sitting room
Empty house pouring salt in my wounds
Close the door and throw the bolt and await the results
There's a certain slant of light and hope that's in your eyes
And I hardly realize as I slip beneath those waves
Yeah, this rain seems to last and last
Heavy heart yearning, gray sky overcast
In this room for awhile, I collapse like a small child
Let the doubts all perish at sea
You've got to learn to dream all over again
How long it's hard to tell in the belly of a whale
Tell me your deep dark secret and I will tell you mine
Is that your deep dark secret?
Oh well, nevermind
