Eve of a New Moon Lyrics

this city in the mountains
i never wanted to be
someone who needed the action
of some sunset beast
your letter tasted wicked
like the dead end heat
nothing to cool my mind
nothing to take for sleep
i lost the eve of a new moon, baby
i never thought it could be
you're coming back for a saint's love, and i
i never thought i'd believe

hey, you there, drinking and scheming
mind if i give it a tease
i left my big-shoulder-baby
well, i was starving, you know, but i couldn't eat
and i don't mind where you're going
i've never felt such relief
let's take the shame and the sins and the time
and we can bury them under the sheets
well, it's the eve of a new moon, baby
i never thought i'd believe
you're coming back for the same love and i wonder
will you ever let me breathe
oh, daddy, i've got to pull up stakes
but i've got no reason to leave
i've lost the time to my roving, yeah
but it's the only way i find any peace
you're a fool to believe in my blood in the dark
and we run from the wax and the wane of our hearts
we're aligned for a trial then i'm gone
it's a sign, it's desire, it's a curse from beyond

this city in the mountains/i never wanted to bleed
i never wanted reaction /or a heart to feed
