Love Lies

(albüm: Only Sparrows - 2011)

Summer salted all our winter wounds
And pressed them cool against the tiles
Keep your heat when seasons die
And darken like the night

Unfold this day into a paper crane
And fold the wings from my desires
Courage can be written down
And practiced like a lie

I followed my longing to feel something new
My love, it followed me
Right back to you

Well, I trace the map in the curve of your spine
I get lost by the hour in the blink of your eye
In the shadowed valleys of your backbone I find
Love lies

Summer tried to drown my shadow in the sea
But my shadow swims along beneath
And mirrors me on blackened shores
Our darkness never leaves

I followed my longing to feel something new
My love, it followed me
Right back to you

Well, I trace the map in the curve of your spine
I get lost by the hour in the blink of your eye
In the shadowed valleys of your backbone I find
Love lies

So I followed my longing
My longing won't die
I'm still tracing the map in the curve of your spine
And the shadows are lengthening into the night
Well, love lies
