lyrics

Hiding from the day and washed away
With all his traces of reflection
Carving what would be their names
In every oak that points in her direction

Now, the moon can say
The cruelest things, it’s true
But the dusk can only ever
Bring what’s due

Darling,
It would be so simple
It seems
But darling isn’t you
And simple’s not me

Pulling back the curtain to reveal
The tired soul who couldn’t save her
A whisper kicks a drum and paints
A memory of promises he gave her

Still, the answers that you seek
May leave you blind
And the peace you try to keep
Won’t ease your mind

Darling,
It would be so simple
It seems
But darling isn’t you
And simple’s not me

Hollow songs
From your morning dove are sung
Have stung
Its melodies are not for the young

Now, your love can say
The cruelest things, it’s true
But the dusk can only ever
Bring what’s due

Darling,
It would be so simple
It seems
But darling isn’t you
And simple’s not me

Hollow songs
From your morning dove are sung
Have stung
These melodies are not for the young
