The Salesman's Wife (Black Tongues)

from Hurts to Purr by Liz Pappademas

/

lyrics

I am dreaming
of thick black tongues of highway
Talking softly through the mountains tonight
Their worried, rocky, blue brows
An empty bed
A quiet house
I am dreaming of thick black tongues of highway

I am dreaming of your suitcase in the hall
River's lapping like your footsteps up the stairs
But it's an endless half hearted climb
and I can not speed you this time
I am dreaming of your suitcase in the hall

And if all our words
Were trees and birds
You'd fly right home to be with me
Part my branches
Rest on my leaves

I am dreaming of the river mining silences
Flowing deep beneath these roots
Under the necklaces of telephone wires
Where the foggy valley stutters and sighs
I am dreaming
I am dreaming
I am dreaming
