Nightships

The beatdown
 Was an all night affair
 Hummingbird at my side
 On the stair
 Held my tongue
 On my cousin's porch
 In the twilight, faded
 There are doors
 And windows to see
 Into life for what it could be
 Lights go on, lights go off again
 And we lie in there faking
 Wrong way, love delivered to me
 Caught my eye, it was all I could see
 Honest love, past lives
 All in a wave
 Came a rush and then faded
 Did you lay out a trap?
 Power is off
 And they're drawing the blinds on you
 Dragon of the basement
 Long way down to New Orleans
 In front of my eyes
 You were all I could see
 All this love, passed by
 All the way
 I tried to erase it
 I've been losing every try
 All the things I can't find
