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 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
|
