The Ram Lyrics

I've built these arms around me

A wall around me

In keeping out your words I've closed myself in

So during this time alone

This time away

We laugh in self defense to get through the day

But haven't we been waiting for the world to slow down?

Haven't we been waiting for spring to come around?

Oh in March of that year you began to read as the

Purple Martins arrived, you said

For the love of god please stay inside

When all the random premonitions you'd had

Finally came to be

Well, the fear that I had held rose up inside of me

And what will become in a year or two

Of this half-hearted skeleton

I've molded myself to?

Then at the end of June, a ram red as clay

A sacred life it came

If ever I've been faithless say my name
