lie with me somewhere under sleepy stars darlin lie with me somewhere on the edge of night lie with me in the tall wet grass darlin lie with me somewhere on the edge of light somewhere where it can be just you and me i believe in the absence of sun i believe in the shadow of one i believe in the power of two i believe in the darkness of you my love my love my darkest love lie with me somewhere under desert hills darlin lie with me somewhere on the virgin sand lie with me on the warm black stones darlin lie with me somewhere on the virgin strand somewhere where it can be just you and me i believe in the absence of sun i believe in the shadow of one i believe in the power of two i believe in the darkness of you my love my love my darkest love all i need is you to show me the light all i need is you to show me the light all i need is you to show me the light show me show me show me the light in this still beating night i lie close to your face the moon is a spotlight for this quiet space if we stay still like statues and don t say a word we will not be seen we will not be heard the stillness has purpose its own subtle dance if we move just an inch we have ruined this chance it s the calm that is key here its coolness has strength it shadows hold mysteries locked to great lengths black like a bible read words in hand black like a crow flying low to the sand all eyes are closed to the absence of light those others still sleeping are nowhere in sight but we hear the starfall that cannot be seen and we feel the stirrings of things in between tell me dreams in the dark that you can t tell by day and ways you ve discovered to hold dawn at bay
