Paper Hanger Lyrics - Me Without You

Not one motion of her gesture could I forget 

The prettiest bag lady I ever met 

Pushing her cart in the rain then gathering plastic and glass 

She watched the day pass, not hour by hour but pain by pain 

If I was a basket filled with holes then she was the sand I tried to hold 

And ran out behind me as I swung with some invisible hands 

I stopped believing, you start to move 

She was like wine turned to water then turned back to wine 

I stopped my leaving and the better man bloomed 

And you can pour us out and we won't mind 

I was dead, then alive 

She was like wine turned to water and turned back to wine 

You can pour us out, we won't mind 

A scratch around the mouth of the glass, my life is no longer mine 

If you're still looking for a blanket 

Sweetie, I'm sorry, I'm no sort of fabric 

But if you need a tailor 

Then take your torn shirt, and stumble up my stairs 

And mumble your pitiful prayers 

And in your tangled night's sleep, our midnight needles go to work 

Until all comfort and fear flows in one river 

Down on the shelf by the mirror where you see yourself whole 

And it makes you shiver 

I stopped believing, you start to move 

She was like wine turned to water then turned back to wine 

I stopped my leaving and the better man bloomed 

And you can pour us out and we won't mind 

I was dead, then alive 

She was like wine turned to water and turned back to wine 

You can pour us out, we won't mind 

A scratch around the mouth of the glass, my life is no longer mine 

Our lives our not our own, even the wind lays still 

All I felt was fire and cold and movement, movement 

If they ask you for a sign of the Father 

Tell them it's movement, movement, movement and repose
