lyrics

The stars over Somerville
Keep their eye on me and my baby

Passing from headlight to headlight
Two pieces of background
Shaking off shadow and
Ushered by lamplight
To that broken door knob
Where her fingerprints are hidden
Among the ones she found all over me
When I was an overcrowded landscape
That shuddered underneath
All the stars over Somerville
When I was racked with earthquakes

Once up the stairs
The slow tiptoe through sea glass and snail shells
The sweeping of smooth debris
Into quiet rooms that I must keep secret
Though they conspire to kill me
Though the fear is endless
Though beauty shines in every window
