I'd walk the water to get back to you And where I was complete We found you scattered by the highway side Too soon to be released Gathered the pieces up and clean the places Where you were undone And washed the wreckage out Unfinished all the thoughts that we'd begun The beauty that it sows I came to burn the sky and tear away Leave it alone again tonight If I could rape the day And find the things I thought I'd always known
Unmade the most of it then left the rest
The parts unrecognized I laid your arms out long untwisted there My reconstruction was the only way And shaped what I could find For one last look at you I lost the sense of it The absolution that we never knew
Leave it alone again tonight And it takes me back from this place here I came to burn the sky and tear away
It takes me back from this place here If I could rape the day The beauty that it sows And find the things I thought I'd always known Leave it alone again tonight
And it takes me back from this place here Might be lost in this place here From this place here it takes me over
From this place here it takes me on Tonight leave it alone
