Balcony

baby baby
hey baby open the door
cause i'm riding the moon
outside your window
and the shadows are going to throw me in
throw me overboard
sliding down the rooftops 
a careless scrap of bark
coasting the cement waves
and i'm here i'm here
so open up
cause who we are
is going to change
and i can feel time draining out my soul
so grab me quick
in this moment where
theres a doorway between us
and not the careful silences 
of everything that has gone before
throw open the curtains 
let the moonlight slide in
and down and down
across the cold floor like water
and baby i'll take you sailing
out on a cloud 
we'll climb aboard
and sail off on the streams of wind
i'll shuttle us along
for a pole i'll use a song
and for a sail a dream
we'll be ones they sing about 
those that just peeked through the shutters
and muttered in their dreams
 we'll be the effigies
they burn on their silent altars
with the incense of prayer
and sacrifices of despair
'let me be like them'
they'll pray to the wind and the stars
who won't listen
won't care
they only love the lovers
who know the taste of air
slide open the sash
let the night pull you here
cause baby this moment's what we've got
and no time for fear
fingertip by fingertip
we'll make a way beyond the rips
of time that cut us to shreds
let's go cause baby
someday love won't be enough
lets grab this moment and run
cause the moon is only good
when there is no sun
climb aboard
we're off on the dream of a lifetime
leaving the dreamers to toss
and turn back to daylight
wondering whatever became
of their lives

"and i can feel time draining out my soul
