Avalanche Patrol
We've got a long way to goBefore we finish our patrolLight burns off in the distanceNo one dares make a soundScared we might wake the snowSleeping giants love to listenAnd tethered together by lines of goldTwo of my brothers on patrolOur breathing keeps us in rhythmWell honey I know it's getting coldEye on the wool cape you have woveI can smell your lavender and lipstickYou would never, ask me when I'm coming homeYou know better, than to wait and watch the snowWhile the other wives and mothers pray and count their rosariesNot my lover, her lipstick lavender keeps her close to meOne, TwoOne, Two, Three, FourHold me close as the hour escapesSunlight running on the mountain's ravenous faceLetras de cancionesThe moon came too soon and it'll stay out too lateAnd I can feel that goddamn bell before they ring itGold heats in your hair promptly at 4 p.m.Then cool to amber as the sun sets againThe light through the blinds paints patterns on skinYour head dovetails so nicely on my chest where you laid itWhen I'm out in the shop, faced to the forgeI think of you, my love, as I tend to the coalsSmiths with flames high in their eyes are all for showDreaming, lying to themselves that they've bridled HadesA fire's that's good take patience, controlEven bellow breathing this work is painfully slowBut you must hold on because you'll taste the rewardWhen that white iron draws out, just like it was paintedI know you know this, but I tell you this timeBecause I need to say it out loud to feel rightYou listen to me whisper it, my lips graze you ear with every lineAnd you memorize every word, just as I say itPress into me, leave marks in my sideAnd I promise to pull you in until my knuckles go whiteYou're breathing with me now as the sun slips behind the mountain ridge to the westAnd the day is finished
