I'd walk the water to get back to you

And where I was complete

We found you scattered by the highway side

Too soon to be released

Gathered the pieces up and clean the places

Where you were undone

And washed the wreckage out

Unfinished all the thoughts that we'd begun

I came to burn the sky and tear away

The beauty that it sows

If I could rape the day

And find the things I thought I'd always known



Leave it alone again tonight



I laid your arms out long untwisted there

And shaped what I could find

Unmade the most of it then left the rest

The parts unrecognized

My reconstruction was the only way

For one last look at you

I lost the sense of it

The absolution that we never knew



Leave it alone again tonight



And it takes me back from this place here

It takes me back from this place here

I came to burn the sky and tear away

The beauty that it sows

If I could rape the day

And find the things I thought I'd always known



Leave it alone again tonight



And it takes me back from this place here

From this place here it takes me over

Might be lost in this place here

From this place here it takes me on



Tonight leave it alone
