I watch the hand move across your face
If I were only big
Moving slow, the longest race
The sharpest teeth sink
And I can't move, and I can't see
The needle clings through all that lace

And when the first leaf starts to shake
And make its way to shiver ground
Diamonds fall over your face
Know that I'd give every drop of hate
Just to see your trembling hands
Wave goodbye again

I remember all those sounds
I used to make so fake and loud
To cover things I should have learned
The deepest hum that you engage
This dark red river down my drain
Wave goodbye again
