lyrics

Oh, the night’s are growing colder
There’s already snow up on the trees
And I know that what I’ve told you
Can be so hard now to believe
‘cause you’ve seen me in my dressing gown
while all my lights and guards are down
I tried to explain I only disappear
So that I can be found

When all the curtains come crashing
And all the people turn to grab their coats
I will be in the wings waiting
Like honey, here to help you soothe your throat
From all the smoke you had to breathe
When the forest fire burned your favourite tree
Those rings rose up all around you like a halo
You’ve always been a mystery to me

Now that we have all faded
Will you hold me up against the sky
Or will you walk with me naked
Down to the Oceanside to die?
Where all the people you have ever known
& every stone that you have thrown
falls and dissolves into a pile of sand
will you call me your man?
