Yr Husband Lyrics - Brother's Blood - Kevin Devine

Your husband 

He drinks like a writer 

But he writes like a banker 

I hope his pens all run dry 

You watch him from your cave in the corner 

Full moon eyes flame and flicker 

The wild way that I like 

From my part 

I pretend I don't notice 

Dumb friend you're a poet 

And I could do this all night 

And I'll stay like that 

Hands locked in my lap 

What I want jailed up in my mind 

Until I slide to sleep 

Where you're waitin' for me 

And we do what we want to 

And shut ourselves off for the night 

Til morning barrels in like a brides maid 

Drunk and desperate for her day 

Drags me out picks a fight 

And I see I'm alone here 

Picture frames and a hot plate 

Stubborn sun spites the hallways 

Paint chips blink yellow white 

And I'm stretching in the act of forgetting 

Bear teeth and blood letting 

Signals crossed half my life 

And the local grown 

Sees your notes towards my home 

Dreaming fits as we crawl underground 

And you're shedding skin 

So I keep what I can 

Yeah I fill up my pockets 

And stuff all that's left in my mouth 

Now you are a part of me 

For as long as I sleep 

I could trick myself into a trance 

Where were as firm as facts 

And I don't give you back 

Every morning the sun comes to shuttle you back to your man
