We met in the east
Poured in like a flood
You're the whispering kind
Dark sapphire blood

A vision of veils all shimmery white
Like a backdrop of sails all aglow from the light
Of the wonder behind a starry night

In the mountain's song, in the blue jay's call
My heartbeat flows in crystal water falls
You're so beautiful in your elegant bed
You'd have my blues for your Nantucket reds

I wait in the dark
So I'd wait in the dark while the storm is

And under the church light
You stand there with your wicked blood and your curls
Yeah, under the church light
You stand there in your fur and your pearls
These lines were here long before we came around
These lines were here long before we came around

And there's an ember in the rafters
And it's gonna burn this whole thing down

In the neon mist I heard you breathe
An exquisite sound, some secret symphony
Your silken skin, my fingers rough
In the midnight dim we went home and touched
'Neath the chandeliers and your Persian's dust
Beneath your chandeliers and your Persian's dust

And under the church light
You stand there with your wicked blood and your curls
Yeah, under the church light
You stand there with your fur and your pearls
These lines were here long before we came around
Yeah, these lines were here
And there's an ember in the rafters
There's an ember in the rafters
There's an ember in the rafters
And it's gonna burn this whole thing down
