We were almost out
When the circus came to town
It stuck around
Arresting me
Captive, reacting
I fell in a dream
Where you were a mountain
And I covered you as snow
Born from the fountain
You never grew old
I built you a dollhouse
A safe-haven
Vacation home
Far away from
I tied a black diamond
To the black ribbon I drape
On an antique bird cage
I fell again
You were a cardinal
And I was a mocking bird
Who plucked all your feathers
So you'd never fly home
The train came into town
And settled down
Traded stream for electricity
And we buckled-down belts
Traded time for ourselves
For a suitcase of paperweights
Neckties, inkwells
And a pretty black dress
Made of all the loose-ends
Left from another life we'll bury next weekend
And I dreamed you grew older
And took the train homeward
I wave from the station where you left me
To never die, never leave, never age
In an antique bird cage
Black diamond for you
Black ribbon on my sleeve (for me)
I fell asleep
