Speaking In Lampblack
There's a sound of a million voices right beside a window view
And the pulse of the static drumming slips down past, unaware
But she remembers the moon tonight
When everything turns around all right
There was something she wanted to say
In the trails of the lampblack burning is just smoke that stains the walls
And she recalls the breaking of patterns
And the spells that once were real and held so true
Everything comes around at once again
There's something she wanted to say
I would hold our sacred moments dear to my heart, close to me
I would keep you in my morning if I'm lost and fail to see
If we fall where words are stranded, I would reach for only you
And shout across the fear we're holding to pull you back to me again
Hear me call
Hey Love, let the summer invade you and open every doorway to your heart
Hey Love, let every season embrace you
Just look around and see everything is blended as one
You speak to me across our living time where words hang on and on
They hold me still, in the moonlit charge
You hold me still
Unspoken words, too late to be heard
Out of touch and blurred, out of time and place
Time has no name and regret has no meaning
We've said what we should have
We've seen what we could have but we've heard so late
Too late
