about

A love song that draws upon the mess and confusion inherent in actual love.

lyrics

I wanted to be there forever
In the closing hold of your arms
To take away the burning and the risk of any harm.
The gentle light is forgiving
The darkness reassures.
The softness of the sea spray and the warmth will endure.
They bring me closer to you.

The night reaches down to us
Almost without thought
I want to take your pain away and throw it on the floor.
No one ever told us to listen
All the windows are smashed and discarded
And nothing will dent our armour or our wisdom
Or lead us to depart.
Bring me closer to you
