Lyrics
Description
A streetlight bowed to her in rain, a halo on the curb.
She found him curled around an old hemp, a coffee cup,
A folded word, an unfolded letter, trembled in his coat.
The ink had run like rain, candy nailed with pocket crayons,
Pennies pressed into the paint.
She laid a feathered map across the cracks inside his chest,
Whispered names of mornings he had buried like a guest.
But shadows kept their patient teeth and wrapped him in their toes.
Her arms became a fortress, his face stayed far below.
Candy, you put your wings around him like a shield,
You held the night back from his door, kept every seam unpeeled.
You held back night while he slept, you said the word to heal.
Your arms a fortress round a man who never learned to feel.
She combed through his calendar and crossed out hollow days,
Left folded paper prayers beside the gate where he would stray.
Took off her halo, forged a promise in the rain,
Pressed warm palms to his shoulder, called his name again and again.
She hummed the tune of windows where the morning used to sigh,
Put a lamp by his empty chair, lit a moon to teach the sky.
But silence is the patient's sickness, his eyes were full of winter snow.
And every time she reached for him, he tightened and pushed her slow.
Candy, you put your wings around him like a shield,
You held the storm from breaking everything he used to build.
He was sick with silence long ago.
He was sick with silence long ago.
