Lyrics
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 tune
On the night I met your lover
He held his body close
He knew my bones were howling
But I blamed it on a ghost
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 tune
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
I slip beside the fire
But the warmth will not be found
'Til you take me in your sun-kissed arms
And lay my body down
