"The Wreckage Of One Vision Of You" lyrics

"The Wreckage Of One Vision Of You"

They thought I'd lost my mind, the priest said a demon
Had taken me and all the priests claimed to see him
I could not even speak to tell them the reason
From the wreckage of one vision of you
Yeah, from the wreckage of one vision of you

I was not in attendance when the first storms were stretched
When the world still wobbled and spun to the west
But whatever that felt like, I felt in my chest
In the wreckage of one vision of you
Yeah, in the wreckage of one vision of you

I remember you there, the river 'round your thighs
Somewhere between Louisville and Ohio
I woke up much later, the blink of an eye
In a world full of wonders where I'd lived all my life

I know that some questions are not mine to ask
Though sometimes, in dreams, I still wonder, perhaps
If I'll see you again, if I saw you by chance
In the wreckage of one vision of you
Yeah, in the wreckage of one vision of you

I remember you there, the river 'round your thighs
Somewhere between Louisville and Ohio
I woke up much later, the blink of an eye
In a world full of wonders where I'd lived all my life

Tonight I'll go roving the forests, the cliffs
And sleep in the fields, that my silver might slip
From its solder and soar for just one more glimpse
From the wreckage of one vision of you
Yeah, from the wreckage of one vision of you
Yeah, from the wreckage of one vision of you
