Put Out The Stars

from Put Out The Stars by Rachel Efron

/

lyrics

Stop the clocks and turn off the fountain
Hold my illusion close to the ground
Split the rock that dreamed of this mountain
Sing my seclusion, stifle my sound

I could have held you
I would have tried to
Summoned my strength again
Though your past carved circles on me
You never fought it,
Fixed, or forgot it
Gave me the night and then
Your love had flown
Left me alone in the dark

Name the pain that beckoned me to you
Gripped at my reason, sails in the wind
Hard as rain and cursed to undo you
Loveliest season I’d love to rescind

I took the first kiss
I bent to bear this
Brandished my heart again
While you drained your soul of longing
Dead on the side
Hell that you dared hide
Gave me the night and then
You put out the stars
