My love, I am the speed of sound
I left the motherless, fatherless
their souls dangling inside-out from their mouths
but it's never enough
i want you...

carved your name across three counties
grounded in with bloody hides
their broken legs will lie in the ditch
till you stop
stop it
stop it
stop it
stop it
stop this madness
I want you...

I have waited with a glacier's patience
smashed every transformer with every trailer
till nothing was standing
sixty-five miles wide
still, you are nowhere
still, you are nowhere
nowhere in sight
come out to meet me
run out to meet me
come into the light

calm the boxcars, to the engine
through the smoke, into the sky
your rails have always outrun mine
so I
picked them up and crashed them down
in a moment close to now

cause I miss
I miss
I miss
I miss
I miss
I miss
I miss
I miss

hang it, sigh yourself to sleep
when I break the springtime
across still sheets

my love, I am the speed of sound
I left the motherless, fatherless
their souls dangling inside-out from their mouths
but it's never enough

my love
I'm an owl on the sill in the evening
but morning finds you
still warm and breathing

this tornado loves you
this tornado loves you
this tornado loves you
this tornado loves you
this tornado loves you

what will make you believe me?

this tornado loves you
this tornado loves you
this tornado loves you
this tornado loves you
this tornado loves you

what will make you believe me?
