Truth Only Smiles - Sweet Billy Pilgrim

Out here amongst the spit and hiss

Of dreams all black and pistol whipped

They crawl towards the morning with a sigh

With easy grace and needy hands

They murdered love’s sweet circumstance

And calmly fashioned flawless alibis

Tell me we’re leaving all this far behind us

Tell me the lights still flicker when we kiss

No doubts or denials

No truth, only smiles

On his eyes the pennies hide

The bruises of a sleepless night

As light comes crashing in from high above

He tries to speak of pain and loss

But on his lips her finger falls

When putting things in order ain’t enough

Tell me we’re leaving all this far behind us

Tell me the lights still flicker when we kiss

No doubts or denials

No truth, only smiles

To greet me when I get home

Darkness pricks me

Something’s wrong

Please say something

Anything

Take me away
