True Love Lives

True love lives
But not like you think it does

True love is
The summer what was

‘Fore the city was built
We were two wings on a falcon
And the townsfolk complained
‘Cause we didn't have names
And the blue streak that we flew was nothing
Before that was the sun
Where the ghosts all cried and made movies
And they thought up some things
Like how coyotes sing
And how I’m soaken split like a pea
So you did that to me

What you got, Johanna?
What's the angel say?
Fi fo fie fum hosanna
Come on outside and play

Before this column was bound
We were green threads through the water
And though legless and still
By some miracle of will
You pulled tides ‘cross the current ‘til
You walked out of the sea

Where I was a tree
And I bloomed out so massive that I ate half the sky
It may have been the reason I shut up and try
Not to spread
But all that goes unsaid
‘Cause forever is a long time
But never is longer my love
That's all I’ll say to you
That's all I'm capable of

Forever is a long time
But never is longer my love
That's all I'll say to you
That's all I'm capable of
