|
We met in the east |
|
Poured in like a flood |
|
You're the whispering kind |
|
Dark sapphire blood |
|
You're a vision of veils |
|
All shimmery white |
|
Like a backdrop of sails |
|
All aglow from the light |
|
Of the wonder behind |
|
At a starry night |
|
In the mountain's song |
|
In the blue jay's call |
|
My heartbeat flows |
|
In crystal water falls |
|
You were so beautiful |
|
In your elegant bed |
|
You'd have my blues |
|
For your Nantucket reds |
|
I'd wait in the dark |
|
Balanced on a thread |
|
So I'd wait in the dark |
|
Balanced on this thread |
|
And under the church-light |
|
You stand there |
|
With your wicked blood and your curls |
|
Yeah, under the church-light |
|
You stand there |
|
In your fur and your pearls |
|
These lines were here |
|
Long before we came around |
|
Yeah, these lines were here |
|
And there's an ember in the rafters |
|
And it's going to bring this whole thing down |
|
In the neon mist |
|
I heard you breathe |
|
An exquisite sound |
|
Some secret symphony |
|
Your silken skin |
|
My fingers rough |
|
In the midnight dim |
|
We went home and touched |
|
Beneath the chandeliers |
|
And your Persian's dust |
|
Beneath your chandeliers |
|
And your Persian's dust |
|
And under the church-light |
|
You standing there |
|
With your wicked blood and your curls |
|
Yeah, under the church-light |
|
You stand there |
|
In your fur and your pearls |
|
These lines were here |
|
Long before we came around |
|
Yeah, these lines were here |
|
And there's an ember in the rafters |
|
And it's going to bring this whole thing down |
