Daniel Romano - On The Night lyrics

On the quiet night I met you The wind swam through your hair It was dancing at my eyelids And I know you saw me there I was standing in the low light As you sang into the room And I was lonely as a tombstone You were holy as a tomb On the night I met your lover He held his body close He knew my bones were howlin' But I blamed it on the ghosts I chose my words like sunday dress My truth could not be found But the truth is I will take his love And lay her body down On the frigid night I met you I tried to hold my tongue My body was evoked with The weakness of the young I felt our heat connected Through the thick haze of the room I was lonely as a tombstone You were holy as a tomb On the night I left my lover He held his head down low My skin was cold and silver But I blamed it on the snow As slippy signed the fire But the warmth will not be found Till you take me in your sun kissed arms And lay my body down
