Held in the Arms of Your Words

This light at the end of the day
When even the highways seem still
The map in my hands folded shutThere isn't one magical word
But a carnival of them instead
Like an old silent cinema screenIn this light you are framed classically
Just a painting that hangs in my head
That I know like the back of my handAnd with the sun set, the neon awakes
And the cold colors dance on your skin
Finally the modern makes sense to meYou're effortless, you know you are
And all I wanna do
Is let you lead me off into the duskOur shadows kiss before we do
Right here in the dark
I revel in the calm before the stormThe garden is haunted by us
And every mistake that we've made
Is at peace 'cause it led us both hereThe thought that just burns into me
Of you in the ink of the night
Is the breath-taking danger of youYou're effortless, you know you are
And all I wanna do
Is let you lead me off into the duskOur shadows kiss before we do
Right here in the dark
I revel in the calm before the stormThis is life, this is all I want from life
It's the fervor and the tenderness combined
In the dark, in the ever-falling dark
We are anchorless, adrift but barely noticeYou're effortless, you know you are
And all I wanna do
Is let you lead me off into the duskOur shadows kiss before we do
Right here in the dark
I revel in the calm before the stormYou're effortless, you know you are
And all I wanna do
Is let you lead me off into the duskOur shadows kiss before we do
Right here in the dark
I revel in the calm before the stormYou're effortless, you know you are
And all I wanna do
Is let you lead me off into the dusk
