Lyrics Lucy Kaplansky

Lucy Kaplansky

Edges

Tear me out of you, come on, try

Tear me out of anything, come on, try

Give me a little light

A mirror and some smoke

I am an amulet, wish upon me

If you can find me

If you can see me

If you can love me, if you can love me

Edges between us join and hold us in place

With a little glue and a little heat

We make love and separate

Then we melt, then we go away

Back to the place where all the memories go

Where you go

Where I want to be with you

I am your amulet, wish upon me

There are miles of wreckage on the road

Miles of love packed away in bags

Filled with lies and kerosene and rags

Strike a match, strike a match

Go on, strike a match

To all the cargo buried in the hold

That keeps you from me

And is going up in fires in me

I am your amulet, wish upon me

If you can find me

If you can see me

If you can love me, if you can love me
