Step onto the platform
As the sun is shining down
Ride Saturday morning
To the other side of town
Each false start propels me in
As far as I can tell
Since she poured her medicine
Into my wishing well

I know
It was a fairly dangerous thing
And I know
I raised my voice when she would sing
Oh but I
I’d suffer it now
Without a sound

The sky it forms above my head
Into a sea of light
The sidewalks spill into a dance
My head is filled-in white
The body of its energy
Envelopes me in heat
Storms all my defenses
Nearly every time we meet

I know
I was tangled up inside
I know
When she stepped out, I wished she’d hide
Oh but I
I’d suffer it now

I know
It was a fairly dangerous thing
And I know
I raised my voice when she would sing
Oh but I
I’d suffer it now
Without a sound.
