lyrics
Where are you going, on foot or on wing?
Feathered and weary in your wandering
I've kept a quiet place here for you
It's all I could do
Up with the crackle of radio news
Up with the creak in the wood as you move
I dreamt a year disappeared in one night
Time was unwinding
Love is a pale thing darkened by dreaming
Love is a soft thing sharpened by seeing
Love is a light thing lifted by sighing
Love is a dark thing
How do you listen, in dusk or at dawn?
Do you hear more when the daylight is gone?
I've spoken thousands of words just for you
It's all I could do
I know how your hand holds the pen to your jaw
I know how your fingers will curve toward thought
You are a question I keep for myself
All this unwinding
Love is a pale thing darkened by dreaming
Love is a soft thing sharpened by seeing
Love is a light thing lifted by sighing
Love is a dark thing
Feathered and weary in your wandering
I've kept a quiet place here for you
It's all I could do
Up with the crackle of radio news
Up with the creak in the wood as you move
I dreamt a year disappeared in one night
Time was unwinding
Love is a pale thing darkened by dreaming
Love is a soft thing sharpened by seeing
Love is a light thing lifted by sighing
Love is a dark thing
How do you listen, in dusk or at dawn?
Do you hear more when the daylight is gone?
I've spoken thousands of words just for you
It's all I could do
I know how your hand holds the pen to your jaw
I know how your fingers will curve toward thought
You are a question I keep for myself
All this unwinding
Love is a pale thing darkened by dreaming
Love is a soft thing sharpened by seeing
Love is a light thing lifted by sighing
Love is a dark thing
