[Verse 1] I woke with gold in my mouth And rain on my shirt Your hands were a lantern In the folds of the dirt I saw green birds On the ceiling fan And I held your name Like a warm quicksand [Pre-Chorus] Now the room bends back To a regular shape Your face goes soft Then it starts to drain I can feel my boots In the cold hardwood The spell is thinning out Like it knew it should [Chorus] I’m coming down Coming down slow Hold me now Then let me go That glass garden fades That bright dream slips I’m coming down From a special trip [Verse 2] The basin is silver The water is plain My grin in the mirror Looks borrowed again There was a gold horse Running through my chest Now it’s just pulse and dust And a small deep rest [Pre-Chorus] You were wild and sweet Like a storm in June But the dawn walked in With a blunt pale tune I’m half in love With what I can’t keep And half awake On the edge of sleep [Chorus] I’m coming down Coming down slow Hold me now Then let me go That glass garden fades That bright dream slips I’m coming down From a special trip [Bridge] I saw the sky split blue In a trembling ring I tried to hold that glow But it wouldn’t stay with me Now the floorboards sigh And the shadows land I’m back in my skin With an empty hand [Final Chorus] I’m coming down Coming down slow Hold me now Then let me go That glass garden fades That bright dream slips I’m coming down From special trip
