Love Lies

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
