lyrics

Come, some desolate love.
One hand stayed, in waiting for another.
Chance slipped through the cracks.
Undone, delicate, spun down.
Light, light, casting shadows, shadows all around.
The thief crept in through the back.
And we'll lie and say we tried.

Same song, time collects the weary.
Hold on, find some faith in me.
Let go, clever adversary.
Oh no, in the mirror you finally meet.

High tide temporary sight, eyes gaze
Calming, longing, further in the maze.
Tied tight to all we lack.
Bright side, slight and airy, lines fade.
Fine fight, lithe and able, able bodies bathed in shade.
The thief slipped into the black.
One day the flame will rise,
And we'll lie and say we tried.
