We found each other blown between the trees,
Waining moons wantin' to swallowed by the sea
Like we finally saw the colors of the world
We grew the garden snake within the weeds
Layed each other long across a flat back street
Like we finally saw the colors of the world
We felt the sun leave us for the west
Limber lips always folding farther from the breast
Like we finally saw the colors of the world
We ran a white flag up the mast
Puckered up like a widow dreamin' in the grass
Like we finally saw the colors of the world
Like we saw black, like we saw black and blue
You pressed a pillow full of snow on the bruise
Like we saw black, like we saw God green too
You saw an offer but it's over too soon
Like we saw black running 'round red wine vines
I found you in the folds of lovely red night
Like we saw black lyin' in golden white
Loved loney so you tried to love me, all right
We threw our money to the river stones
Led each other through the woods to wander back alone
Like we finally saw the colors of the world
We let the taste linger in the mouth
South Chicago never gave us more to sing about
Like we finally saw the colors of the world
