Our bodies still as photographsnBeg the ground to swallow usnAnd press our lonesome silhouettes into the dirtnLight reflecting off your facenCasting colors on your cheeksnI saw you shiningnSaw you shiningnBrighter than beforennAutumn bears a bitter songnCreeping out across the yardnAnd weaving through the alder branches overheadnOf all that is escaping usnI have never been so certain as todaynnWhen the seasons settle in our lungsnThey'll harden us, they'll cover us in crowsnBut cannot wash the laughter from our tonguesnnTime is quick to carry onnCertain as the morning tends tonHollow us and turn our words to smokenIn all that is escaped usnAnd all that we could hold in place nI saw you shiningnSaw you shiningnBrighter than before
