Living Proof

The night fell with bicycle bells, the dark had wooden teeth
 oh we broke on up to hill country, the air was thin and sweet
 lord, the air was thin and sweet
 ♪
 She held onto my coat that night, like a kid lost in her sleeves
 oh we warmed the ground, we hushed our sound
 we slept on walking feet
 lord, we slept on walking feet
 ♪
 Oh Darlin, pardon me
 can you help me remember
 when we were all flying free
 we were dust from our bodies
 and we were flicker and flame, yeah we burned till the morning
 Darlin, pardon me
 ♪
 Off in the night, you can hear 'em bright,
 the Sirens of the Sea
 oh and city birds and alley girls, they all just sing for free
 oh they all just sing for free
 ♪
 Oh Darlin, pardon me
 but do I look familiar
 when we were just larkspur and leaves
 we were strung through the tether
 and we were all silver and stone
 we were the lust of the miners
 Darlin, pardon me
 ♪
 That sky glowed all calico like phosphor in the sea
 to the ground we fall, she owns us all
 kings and boys and beast
 kings and boys and beast
 
 Oh Darlin, pardon me
 but do I look familiar
 when we were just flying free
 and we burned from a freight train
 and we were some flicker of truth in the smile of a salesman
 and we were all buried jewels 'neath the grass in the suburbs
 and we were all living proof
 oh Darlin, pardon me
