Strangled Night, oh perfect sidewalks that curve and swerve with careful beauty leading, urging my feet forwards your smile sucks all the words from my tongue so let us kiss the silence occasionally for it was worth when the moment calls to it in song I'm not asking anything from you (stay awhile, won't you?) it all has to come from me this time I've always expected disaster, always thought that the end might be on its way and over the years I have turned from white to grey so with flawlessly purposeful caution my heart has lived its days. But for your eyes and all they hold Maybe I'll come crashing down from this cloud like a feather in grateful descent For a change I will no longer hold away all of me from the gentle view of your understanding heart just promise me that, at least, for a little while you will stay |
