lyrics

you walk so slowly on down the hall 
with your body aching from the night before 
and with a flick of golden hair you make time yours 
like a river whispers 'holy' unto the ocean's shore 

you turn the kettle on and light your morning smoke 
twirling light around your finger like some kinda joke 
then you edge closer to my lonely frame 
embracing my lips with a gospel refrain

we betray each other 
but in this moment 
you are my other 
you are my lover

you open the window and let in the flowers
as the bells of St Augustine inform us of the hour 
I measure my living on the hopes of your limbs 
dancing upon the wings of silent hymns 

we betray each other 
but in this moment 
you are my other 
you are my lover

and from the mantle you pick up your rings 
to retreat into an afternoon where the angels sing 
I smell the perfume upon my skin 
for I know this day will never be again 

you will never be again
