Shadow Puppets

Take a sip from your chaliced chest
And I bow my head to you
'Cause kicking myself would be a waste of bruises
And you won't allow the black and blue

I know it will get easier with time
Tick off the days by swimming up the Rhine

Even though I am across the ocean
Looking out at a sunflower view
Remember that time I came all the way out to Hoboken
To prove my devotion to you

I know it will get easier with time
Tick off the days by swimming up the Rhine

I'll make a shadow puppet on the moon
So you can see it, too
We planted peaches in the sidewalk cement
Be careful, the dawn is coming soon

I know it will get easier with time
Tick off the days by swimming up the Rhine
