Matrimony II

(album: Swimmer - 2020)

I only have certainty when you hold my hand
There's so much that I don't understand
Baby we've been orbiting each other helplessly
I guess that o blacked out but remembered to move my mouth
So much for my vows
More concerned with here and know

No one knows of love that's slow held like the longest breath
Or the gentle pull of gravity
That's being unto death
I can't go on living with a spark
That's only flickering
I only want that tenderness
With every moment left
I could never find something better
I even changed my name
By my side in every kind of weather
I'll never be the same

Come closer you say
Black cats in the neighborhood
Aren't necessarily a sign of something
You know me so well
There goes the neighborhood
Let it go burning down around us
So much for my vows
More concerned with here and know

No one knows of love that's slow held like the longest breath
Or the gentle pull of gravity
That's being unto death
I can't go on living with a spark
That's only flickering
I only want that tenderness
With every moment left
I could never find something better
I even changed my name
By my side in every kind of weather
I'll never be the same
