lyrics
SECRET OF THE SCAR///I haven’t got a head for heights I never did/When I climbed up to you it was not deliberate/Now I’m past all points of healing/With the sound of sound returning/And goodnight was the only word I ever knew/If fortune knocks me to the ground/Or if we go tripping over ancient bounds/I want you to know it’ll only be for you/It’s the secret of the scar/She’s hung herself with stars/I’m gonna find a way to break through these red lines/With a feeling I dare not define/Come ride with me up to Eldon Tree/And we’ll achieve a perfect symmetry/But I bet they try to pass a law against this/Playing games of need or want/Or if they try to send me back to Charlemont/I want you to know I’ll be going back with you/It’s the secret of the scar/She’s hung herself with stars/I’m gonna find a place where my lover and I/Where there won’t be no more blood-soaked lullabies/Like footprints on the light of day/We’ll melt to dusk and then we’ll fade away/Go running though the broken fences of my dreams/Where fish of amethyst flow/And you’ll bring me down with broken arrows/I want you to know I’ll be coming down for you/It’s the secret of the scar/She’s hung herself with stars/I’m gonna find a place/For heights I never did
