I never notice
When the sky retreats at night
I just know how it unfolds you
So I never speak
For I would undermine the light
No, I know better just to hold you
We sat between the earth and sun
Not belonging to either one
We're just looking for the water's source
And our patient, she has run her course
But in the morning you were took from me
Took every ounce I had just to breathe
I sat for centuries down that lonesome hall
My hands raised at the western wall
The spirit picked me up and took me in
How your perfect teeth were chattering
And now it's time for us to find out
What this whole damn thing's about
I've heard it said if you can keep the sight
Of one thing of beauty inside your mind
No hellish hand will ever touch your heart
In our arms, babe, we both have ours
I never notice
When the sky retreats at night
I just know how it unfolds you
So I never speak
For I would undermine the light
No, I know better just to hold you
