The moon shone with the colour of an unveiled bone
The sky moved so slow, like the scar in the stone
The breath in my lungs running wild and free
Oh I love you pretty baby, can't you see?
This sure aint a place that I been before
I was a broken old soldier in a tired old war
Shook the dirt from my bones, now I'm finally home
To make sure you don't ever feel alone
But all I know
When you're moving so slow
You make me lose all control
You keep me warm
You keep me safe
You keep me whole
Everything was twisted 'round inside of my reason
I'm so glad I'm still alive, despite of my decisions
Keep it together, it's supposed to not break
All the love we give
All the love we take
You wrapped around my heart like a vine my dear
Picking at my heartstrings, suffocate my fear
My everything's on fire with everything you do
Who needs the sun, who needs the moon
When I've got you
But all I know
When you're moving so slow
I never wanna let go
You keep me warm
You keep me safe
You keep me holding on tight
You're holding the light
You're keeping what's right
Safe up inside
And all that you do
And all that you say
And all that you prove
Every single day
It's been a really long time since I've been that impressed by songwriting so creative and smart, plus the courage in displaying such vulnerability, and touched by the sheer beauty of the music, all at the same time. (I'm usually not a fan of digital only music purchases, but just had to make an exception here, after having the pleasure of experiencing a live gig by the wonderful Lucy, and buying the followup album on CD there - also heavily recommended!) mawit
