i thought i found you, i thought i knew
days no longer numbered, i had 'em readymade for two
just turns out, you were singin' a different tune
one more evening and i'd have gone blind
those prickly feathers would've stolen my sight
it seems i broke from your grasp just at the right time
when i found out you weren't the one
i'd had a couple drinks and the night had just begun
you swept a bright moon into a dark sun
you wanted to travel the open seas
come up off your feet, be lifted by the tidal breeze
not singing a ballad, lighting candles down upon your knees
skinny laughter echoed by the water
a fragile sound alone, i thought you were a bother
ah, you hated me that night, i bet you don't remember
//
you told me one night by the fire that if you ever left me well you'd come home, so when i thought that you were gone for good i still waited right by the door
and i prayed that you'd come back to me and say that you never had gone
