There was always water
To throw a fire on
It sends me down the trail
Into the flats at dawn

To whisper to the shadows
I bring my secrets here
I take the blame, for there is no shame
Amidst the hope and fear

Ain't no crime in this treason
Ain't no rhyme, ain't no reasons
Only love can redeem
We lie down, and we dream

When you teach a snake to bite
You'll do more than lick those wounds
And pray the blood and poison flows
Staring up at the silver moon

Listen to the wind
It sings
Beware of the simple things
Take time for the little things

There's no crime in this treason
Ain't no rhyme, ain't no reason
Only love can redeem
We lie down, and we dream
