You are what they call the human season 
You are all the alphabet in one 
You are every colour of confusion 
You are all the silence I've become

Love me for 
Stupid reasons 
I like those most

Wide-eyed but 
Worth believing 
God knows

Damn the angry voice that keeps us quiet 
The editor whose work is never done

Keeping pretty words between my teeth and 
Sweet confessions underneath my tongue

Drowsy contemplation 
Do I let you in 
This is my invitation 
But how do I begin?

She has such an awful lot of soldiers 
Quite a lovely army all her own 
Night and day they stand before the fortress 
Very safe but very all alone
