Divided Sky Lane

Five years now since they dissolved our crew
Since the fence went up that I can’t cut through
Grass grown high on the former site
Of the carefully tended garden we visited late at night
See how the cracked moon climbs high
In the divided sky
Much blood shed in the phantom zone
I’m a civilian now, I can’t go home
Sweep my front steps at dark each night
Tongue, swollen with prayer, stomach unbearably tight
See how the cracked moon climbs high
In the divided sky
Though the frost bites hard, I maintain my guard
Good spies grow old, they never come in from the cold
Full information blackout
From the field, for me, I know
I will some day learn how to let you go
Clench and unclench my fingers
Get it right some day
Find the place where the memories go dark
And they stay that way
See how the cracked moon climbs high
In the divided sky
