i’m so happy that my window faces north
can’t offer you salvation if that’s what you’re looking for
but my gods are not jealous, no they’re not like me
i compete for your attention with the static on tv
five points of a star trace your shape
i light a candle in your honor then i blow out the flame
i always cast my circle a little too wide
just big enough for you and i too live our lives inside, alright, alright
moon water on the windowsill
morning dew out on the lawn
you are sleeping in your bedroom still
i am rising with the dawn
i can tell myself it’s justice and you need to pay your dues
but i know i’m fighting fire and i think i’m burning too
reckoning with forces that i’ll never understand
but for a kiss on your cheek and a scar on my hand, oh man, oh man
moon water on the windowsill
morning dew out on the lawn
you are sleeping in your bedroom still
i am rising with the dawn
and i’m so happy that your window faces south
i wrote a sigil on a compass and i took it to your house
i ask the goddess for protection when i steal your mother’s herbs
from her spice cabinet, walking home pockets full of rosemary, rosemary
