Hidden burrow, jewel in the wind
Soaked in rain
When we rolled in
Hand in hand
But we're on our own
On candlemaker row
Fight the days
Wrestle the light
I'll throw my name against the night
It's of no use to me
I'm a shadow
On candlemaker row
Streets took us crooked
Moving hungry
Searching for the bottom of the flame
When Irene queen of the crooks so hot it hurt
Drove me into the plain
The windy howl behind the rock
I'll wind you down to dust
The gifts are faded now
And beauty has failed to
Keep protecting the awful signs
Of your decline
My mind it slipped on
The rainy steps where
The children pass to our spirit home
On candlemaker row
Night followed footsteps
Choose to trip us
Drag me down
Held me in the deep
The drugs and the gas man
Breathing fire
Dropped us on the other side of speech
The winded grin behind the rock
The face is flesh that's all
