That night the sun sank down
And passed through the trees
The streets all drifted shut
And kept you with me
With the dim of the sun
You’re giving us up
The banks
Rising above, covered the sill
She asks if she should stay
And since every word felt quiet and still
She says she will
End of us delayed
And fell to the ground
Weathered by the storm
And softened by doubt
With the dim of the sun
You’re keeping me up
My love
Carried away, dressed by the storm
Her lantern turned away
She’s swallowed by night
And feathers of rain
Until the sun breaks
Years flit by in a day
But I still have you today
You dressed in white and I followed you out through the door
Our backs to the wind and my eyes cast down in the storm
Oh, my love
She settles down
