Song For The Julian Calendar Lyrics

Sun twinkling on the river this evening

I tasted chocolate on my tongue

Darkness climbing up the ladders to the sky

Rung by agonizing rung

I heard firecrackers popping next door

Wondered what it is I bargained for

When I lay quiet on the floor and you were knocking

Let me be your witness

Let me walk out on the edge

The sun refused to shine on my backyard today

Darkness climbing up the house

Coming through the window ledge

I saw the firecrackers bursting on the sidewalk

I heard you talking your baby talk

I saw the bright lights again and

I felt the shock when you were knocking
