lyrics

Dried petunias in her hall
no use to wait for him to call
faded pictures on the wall
was he ever really there at all?

Woman and man in an ancient rite
spinning out to endless night

Wears his age like an apology
the man you know, I am no t he.
No one sees what used to be.
The moving finger points past me.

Oh my child, don't treat me this way
you burn through my heart
like a spark in the hay
Like a spark in the hay

Night come down
at the end of the day
it burns through my heart like a
spark in the hay

Dried petunias in her hall
no use to wait for him to call
faded pictures on the wall
was he ever really there at all?
