A SMALL VICTORY - THEIR LOVERS FALL lyrics

sitting here alone at this one stop train station

with nothing to keep my mind at bay

but the smiles on stranger's faces and the moment when i saw your eyes

peering through that frosted window

i swear i felt this scarf tighten around my neck

and now it seems that i dont even have to try to keep your little mouth shut

and you know that i would do almost anything just to hear you scream

and break this haunting silence at the top of your lungs

but breaking the silence with you is like pulling my teeth out

so we are spending this years holidays alone nothing left to keep us warm

but the fire that burns in our guts

and we can count the doves as one by one their lovers fall,

crashing into the ground..exploding in the air,

as the earth opens up beneath to swallow their empty corpses.
