Rafters Lyrics - Singles - Buckner Richard

now that i know what i'd hoped had to 

be in mind was true and refused (and just 

in time), do you wonder why? it seems 

i let up with the dents of a near-collision. 

i couldn't call, and wrecked and turned 

up missing. 

but, until then, i'm cutting to 

the end: 

it's cold in the light 

(the one we never seemed 

to find). 

i opened the door instead, but, you knew 

the lock (and the way i was looking) 

and still not a thing was said. i guess 

i can show that i thought i'd never 

have you long. it's a wall that you feel, 

but you're already slipping and away you 

slide. can you take the ride? what 

did it mean when we stood with our building, 

slanted: high, and we spoke of harder 

times? 

i pulled the rafters down, but the ghosts 

were only dropping 

and since that night...
