Just Another Look

You took your mind away from them Like they carried something vague You took your body back from us And started sleeping with your plague I can’t remember why you slept With the wounds all under your skin I can’t remember what you lost In those places where I’ve never been It’s just another look in your eyes Just another look It’s just another tear without cries For what the blindness took When I got back to the apartment Your sister was waiting for me She was sealed in with your fingers To insert in place of the key She had covered herself in the dust From the night that we first met Then swept herself under the bed Where the soiled sheets are kept It’s just another look in your eyes Watching the storm Just another look Watching the storm It’s just another tear without cries Watching the storm For what the blindness took She had that quiet, haunted feeling About the sounds she always heard Behind thinly glass closed doors In the prism of the painted bird She wondered if I had ever known Why you left your life with me Or why young men never gamble On the price you set as a fee It’s just another look in your eyes Just another look It’s just another tear without cries For what the blindness took The new religion follows you And our hearts are beating fast As our bodies take us down the road To the corners of your past Where you with lips lie waiting With colour in your cheek While she and I are left standing To be baptized with the meek It’s just another look in your eyes Just another look It’s just another tear without cries For what the blindness took It’s just another look in your eyes Watching the storm Just another look Watching the storm It’s just another tear without cries Watching the storm For what the blindness took It’s just another look in your eyes Just another look
