lyrics

Before you go, turn out the lights
There’s nothing to see anymore
Let in the night to roll like a dog on the floor
And silence to curl up in the corners
And emptiness to sweeten the air
And everything I’m missing to fill up this space

Like a river
Like a rain storm
Pulling your clothes in its teeth
Like a ripple
Like a riptide
Like the world taking hold of me.

When you go, take me along
Slip me like in your pocket like a book
You can read in me what makes you strong
And other things you tend to overlook
Take circumstance to sweeten your coffee
And happenstance to bring you your shoes
And stones and dogs and traffic lights to call out your name

Like a fog horn
Like a wind storm
Running its hands through your hair
Like a record
Like a railroad
Like the world rolling over me.

And beauty to weigh down your pockets
And plentitude to fill up your hands
And love for all this everything to glow through your skin

Like the sunlight
Like a bonfire
That carries our prayers out of reach
Like a candle
Like a crown
Like the world shining out of me
