Letra de Backchannels
Oh, when you whistle Down the wind When you needle the dark With your mind When you're firing volleys Of words in an arc When you're snuffing out all That's still aliveAnd a droplet falls From the dropper's eye Blooms like a wave That slowly overruns all of your days And slips the caul From off your eyes You face alone A fear that's dragging us all in its wakeAnd you kill the lightsI know You're in the river now And you yield To the water's embrace And you lie like a stone On the banks, giving out As it carries off all of our namesI know that sound I know what it likes I know it feels Like all the guns of a battery Trained right at your eyesBecause it's real Because it pulls A thread of Slowly unraveling days Annihilates Your mother tongue Your only lightBut hold this sound Follow it all the wayAnd put down the knifeThe night is here But still is Spinning out stars in its wake And that stubborn light Pools in your heart Warm and nacreous, baby The milk of sighs And dreams
