On The Night

On the quiet night I met you
 The wind swam through your hair
 It was dancing at my eyelids
 And I know you saw me there
 I was standing in the low light
 As you sang into the room
 And I was lonely as a tombstone
 You were holy as a tomb
 On the night I met your lover
 He held his body close
 He knew my bones were howlin'
 But I blamed it on the ghosts
 I chose my words like Sunday dress
 My truth could not be found
 But the truth is I will take his love
 And lay her body down
 On the frigid night I met you
 I tried to hold my tongue
 My body was evoked with
 The weakness of the young
 I felt our heat connected
 Through the thick haze of the room
 I was lonely as a tombstone
 You were holy as a tomb
 On the night I left my lover
 He held his head down low
 My skin was cold and silver
 But I blamed it on the snow
 As slippery signed the fire
 But the warmth will not be found
 Till you take me in your sun kissed arms
 And lay my body down
