The Dark Closes In
There's a sound of thunder rolling closer and I think to hold you tighter
We're sitting inside listening to drops of rain hitting the window pane
We're drowning in our drinks
And filling our lungs with shotguns
It's just you and I here tonight
In this cabin by the lake
We used to call a home
But is now less than a house
And less than it never was
The waters unfished and the boat is moored in the growing weeds
The trees bend in the breeze
Playing shadow games with our imagination
The stars in the sky sparkle like the beginning
But that was a million light years ago
And they're burnt out supernovas now
Lightening flashes and our eyes dart to the light hoping to find illumination
But the dark closes back in after glimpses of twilight
But the dark closes back in until we're alone in the same room
Until the cabin is a ghost
And the water is dried up
And the grass turns to death
And the trees fall to the ground
And the sky opens up
And the dark closes in
