We met in the east, poured in like a flood You're the whispering kind, dark sapphire blood A vision of veils all shimmery white Like a backdrop of sails all aglow from the light Of the wonder behind a starry night
In the mountain's song, in the blue jay's call My heartbeat flows in crystal water falls You're so beautiful in your elegant bed You'd have my blues for your Nantucket Reds
I wait in the dark [Incomprehensible] So I'd wait in the dark [Incomprehensible]
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 These lines were here And there's an ember in the rafters And it's gonna burn 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
'Neath 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, an ember in the rafters There's an ember in the rafters, an ember in the rafters
There's an ember in the rafters, an ember in the rafters There's an ember in the rafters, an ember in the rafters There's an ember in the rafters, an ember in the rafters There's an ember in the rafters, an ember in the rafters
There's an ember in the rafters And it's gonna burn this whole thing down
