No More Shelter

Pull up the horses
 And carry me back behind the lines
 Back to the water,
 Back with the gardens and the vines
 Where two hands of ashen gold
 Chase down my fever
 and wash me with soap
 When half of us were losing
 And half of us were wrong,
 A rose you planted.
 Leather and rope,
 Fire inside the rock
 The heavens open
 I am like a child on the spot
 Asking god why'd you come?
 Was it all for some glory,
 Was it all for a song?
 And my eyes are still searching
 For a light in the fog
 A sweetheart to sing for me
 I was thrown from the center
 Where I once so bravely spun
 I was pulled through the colors
 Through the colors did I run
 And my eyes were wide and gleaming,
 Though wind-whipped by the storm
 There is no more shelter for the broken
 I hear they still track me now
 Dogs try to sniff out my home
 I'll write you in the scars
 Laid in trails by the jets headed home
 How you mold me and move me still
 I'm calling on your memory here alone in my cell
 A time when you fed me, a time I was filled
 But one of us must keep from crying.
