Dead Light
Thea Gilmore
We waited out the days of winter
In the place our summer years were spent
You don't have a lot left in you
Just ice and guilt and discontent
You said you count your nights by the stars love
Well I count mine by the shadows
That old dead light is just too far love
To tell Lolita from the Virago
You could have saved me
Some time
Every hope that I am holding
I pinned all of them on you
The ebony, the green, the golden
Didn't you want me to?
You could have saved me
Some time
One two three
Come on darling come at me
One two three
All years go by in shattered glory
Every hour's a trusted friend
Was I the ending to the story
Or a pause at least
If not the end
You could have saved me
Some time
