"Laughing Lover" lyrics

Crucify the blinding sky for light
Love's love is like a lightning rod
Howlin' wind has been hurtin' my head
Dead dreamers in a burning car

Your mind is a diamond, blue and green
Shining out through your eyes like falling leaves
When you open your mouth a swarm of bees will appear

My dear, steer clear, have no fear
For you know just what they call you here:
You're the laughing lover covered in tears

Steal away the sun the moon and stars
Start simple with a woman's voice
Wisdom lingers on the fingers of the fortress
Like a lazy ghost

Your mind is a dragon of dying bird
Like to circle the flames singing words unheard
When your death like a thread pulls you in and your lover appears

My dear, it's clear, have no fear
For you know just what they call you here:
You're the laughing lover covered in tears

Sanctify the blinding sky for light
Weaves wonders out of bits of clay
Howlin' wind has been hurtin' my head
Breaking bread but in a gentle way

Your mind is a diamond, blue and green
Shining out through your eyes like falling leaves
When you open your mouth a swarm of bees will appear

My dear, it's clear, have no fear
For you know just what they call you here:
You're the laughing lover covered in tears
