Rose rides the desert beneath the full moon
and my apartment holds Danny and I safe
against her absence
These days and hours, so electric, I’ll never forget
Love and pain in all proportions
and time slowing down, day by day
against the history nodes passing here
Nine years coming down beneath the full moon
and all our friends wait to see what’s right
I feel this history like the veins in my skin
beneath the hours I’m living in
