Caught it in a paraphrase
Feels like on the edge of an age
Where the scent of you still remains
In the valley, in the fey light
In the words that the record sings
She left a necklace and never retrieved it
I left a message, meandering gently amidst our secrets
The clasp was broken, but you know me
I tend to keep the pieces
Shards in shoe boxes, still sharp
Love and rockets, the shower sparks
White lightning in a mine shaft
It was black as a cold heart
A glassy eyed Gordon Parks
Cyclops in it's maze afraid
I hear sticks sharpen in the dark
Surrounded by the bones of those I slain
That connect and constrain
Feels like on the edge of an age
Where the scent of you still remains
In the solder, in the ashtray
In the old book we put away
