Will The Heavens Catch Us?

from Visitor by John Moreland

/

lyrics

Home from the hospital
In the grey mist of morning
The pain is pouring and pulling you under
Written into a story
That’s become a bloody bar fight
Heavier than god’s own holy thunder

Well, it’s alright
No we can’t control the daylight
So we rush right in like a wrecking ball
Will the heavens catch us when we fall?

I’m a Louisville slugger
Aimed for the fences
While my oldest defenses keep me down
I give my confession
Without disgrace or discretion
I will torch the kingdom outright, just to hold the crown

But, it’s alright
No we can’t command the moonlight
So we rush right in like a wrecking ball
Will the heavens catch us when we fall?

We writhe in agony
For our precious little legacy

Love and mercy
Gasoline and matches
You say you’ve got a few bridges left to burn
And the flickering flame
Is asking me a question
I can’t find the lesson to be learned

But, it’s alright
No we can’t control the daylight
Well, it’s alright
No we can’t command the moonlight
So we rush right in like a wrecking ball
Will the heavens catch us when we fall?

songs are all questions. Everything I write is just trying to figure stuff out.”
