Matrimony II

I only have certainty when you hold my hand

There's so much that I don't understand

Baby we'e been orbiting each other helplessly

I guess that I 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

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 all go burning down around us

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 to give, to give

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

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
