The Shape of Your Name

The shape of your name
Is a picture I know
Like a face in the crowd
Wherever I go
Now shadows are calling
The light and it throws
The shape of your name
Like a picture I know
It's a broken line
It's a tune I've heard
c thousand times
I know every word
The party is over
The bells all have rung
The shape of your name
Like a song on my tongue
c southbound train
cnd a sky of birds
They rattle above
Like a murmur of words
They light all around
cnd darken the sky
In the shape of your name
Like a beautiful lie
It's an honest game
That we've always played
c heart is a heart
c spade is a spade
But the world don't tell
The reason it turns
The shape of your name
Is a habit I've learned
The world don't tell
The reason it turns
The shape of your name
Is a habit I've learned
