Banned from Gun World - Elway

Eyes open to the vacuous black in the dark of a windowless bedroom

The blurry unknown date and the smile across my face

Are singing out loud like a siren

The sun shrank and scattered

The daylight fades away each time the same

None of this matters

If these few nights could stay

I’d carry your words to my grave

Redemption in a long morning road

A mirror to put past in gray and yellow

The love I harbored died;

now I collect the open sky

I’m a calloused heart resurrected

The night we reached the sky

Still stays with me like the smile that I’d find

When we kissed and I felt like I tasted the air for the first time

I thought I could melt away

A specter in the bareness of the day

Like the fortune that this gambler would trade

For one moment on a quiet winter Sunday
