lyrics

It’s so strange
Loving you
I feel so lost
In the dark
Loving you
Heat-dazed and tossed.

Wind brushes reeds
In the late afternoon
Give me you scarf
But take it back too soon
When it gets dark
When it gets dark.

I’m so lost
Loving you
Can’t stand my thoughts
in the dark
Loving you
Paths left uncrossed

The harp is plucked
The string never rests
I’d make myself home
But I know I’m only a guest
When it gets dark.
And it gets dark.

The tide could wash away
The things we had
(We write our promises in sand)

The wind could snatch away
Our only map
(To learn the lay of the land)

And if we could agree
It’s not that bad
We’ll draw an hourglass in sand.

Our tracks are gone
But I’m not afraid to turn around.

It’s so strange
Loving you
I’m threadbare but warm
I’m afraid
Loving you
I can’t stab my thoughts

The harp is plucked
The string never rests
I’d make myself home
But I know I’m only a guest
When it gets dark.
And it gets dark.

The tide could wash away
The things we had
(We write our promises in sand)

The wind could snatch away
Our only map
(To learn the lay of the land)

And if we could agree
It’s not that bad
We’ll draw an hourglass in sand.

Our tracks are gone
But I’m not afraid to turn around.
