Everly

Everly don't you mock what you feed on Take the wings of the morning and fly Everly I'm a tiny bough broken and drowning up in the sky Lately I seem to roll on these boulevards Sinking into the night Rolling on through the iron and ivy 'Til time out of mind Everly bear me neon fruit Let it shine and shine and shine The kingdom is flooding and I am too Keep me close on the vine I did dream we were pharaoh and bride With the bounty laid at our feet Everly dream the mango in summer And the nightingale down in the deep Salt mines bleed into fault lines and sting Straighten up, uncurl your spine Everly mine as I am to you 'Til time out of mind When he comes, when he comes for me I'll be ripe as the lemon upon the tree When he comes when he comes for me I'll be free, free Everly bear me neon fruit Let it shine and shine and shine The kingdom is flooding and I am too Keep me close on the vine
