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
