And the tide is rushing out and everything is being left upon the shore Are you waiting? I'm a leaf into an autumn breeze, an afterthought of an awoken dream Into the falling light Your open mouth Your honesty And your hardness Everything is made to pass My ships are sailing for you There are lions in their cages have not seen the wild outrages that I do in In your eyes And a ghost among the others just to slip beneath the covers of this world And meet you By failing light There's a note upon the counter says "you'll never get it better than this" So I keep it And I hold it in my pocket as I watch you move from room to room Like a secret In failing light
