Winter in Eden

Winter in Eden, there’s nothing on tv
“The sun is a bruised fruit” my true love says to me
He reaches for answers to questions I can’t find
When you are not here I’ll kiss you in my mind

Winter in Eden, there’s coffee on the stove
We speak when we need to & do as we are told
The older we’re becoming the less that goes to plan
Mornings and longings stretch out beyond your hands

I’m a noble mechanic in a one-horse town
I’m some words said in Spanish from a quiet mouth
I can live ’til forever and not leave a mark
I can keep us together when we’re far apart

Winter in Eden, the washer-dryer hums
Your heart is a balloon, you tie it to my thumb
Once we were children, now look at what we are
Life is a knee graze that leaves a wholesome scar

I’m a noble mechanic in a one-horse town
I’m some words said in Spanish from a quiet mouth
I can live ’til forever and not leave a mark
I can keep us together when we’re far apart
I can keep us together when we fall apart
