about you

I saw a cathedral
Growing out of a spoon
A choir of blue horses
Was howling at the moon

The mouths were all melting
The mirrors forgot what to do
And every strange reflection
Turned into nobody else but you

I walked through a hallway
Made of radio snow
Where the angels were dancing
With shadows they didn’t know

A fish in a top hat
Said love is never true
But then he changed his answer
To nobody else but you

Nobody else but you
In the thunder of the roses
In the static of the sea
In the doors that never open
In the dream that dreams of me

Nobody else but you
When the stars come loose like buttons
From the velvet sky so blue
Every impossible road
Leads to nobody else but you

I found your name written
On the back of the sun
By a blind ballerina
With a golden water gun

She said time is a window
And the window’s looking through
All the lives I never lived
And they’re all in love with you

The city was sleeping
In a bottle full of rain
The saints played electric guitars
On a runaway train

And I was a stranger
Even to myself, it’s true
Till the night leaned in and whispered
There’s nobody else but you

Nobody else but you
In the thunder of the roses
In the static of the sea
In the doors that never open
In the dream that dreams of me

Nobody else but you
When the stars come loose like buttons
From the velvet sky so blue
Every impossible road
Leads to nobody else but you

And if the moon falls backward
And the ocean learns to fly
If my bones turn into violins
Playing songs I can’t deny

I’ll be standing in the ruins
Of a world that split in two
Holding one impossible flower
For nobody else but you

Nobody else but you
In the fever of the morning
In the ghost inside the blue
In the silence after lightning
There is nobody else but you
