lyrics

I have noticed the flicker of your light
The hollow of your absence in the pain, in the fight
Shout or whisper, recover what is wrong
Stories like the layers since the night you were born

You are with me as images of sleep
As creatures of the shipwreck, life in love, dark and deep
Form your sadness even as it dies
Colors the reflection of your past in your eyes

Before I fall in love I want to know, how you gonna love me
Before I fall in love I’ve got to know, how you gonna touch me
When the wind blows and the leaves fall all around me

You who’ve been here a hundred times before
Witness to my passion and the night and the door
I will stay here as though I have the choice
Come again tomorrow, bring your past, bring your voice

Before I fall in love I want to know, how you gonna love me
Before I fall in love I’ve got to know, how you gonna touch me
When the wind blows and the leaves fall all around me
