City fast asleep
Clouds up on the hill
So quiet, so still
Dreams of rain in sheets
Dreams of ice and wings

So delicate, these things
Love is a word so small
Let it fill up 'til I can't see at all
I want to be blind, only my hands to guide me
Bring all of you inside me

City fast asleep
Lights hum in the gray
Like her breathing will someday
Strangest beauty cries
One and one, by and by

Now three of us here lie
Love for one so small
Come fill me up 'til I can't see at all
I want to be blind, only my hands to guide me
Gather all the world inside me
