We are not the sun but the shadow, Not in the bone but the marrow. Our Secrets deep, where cretins creep And none hear the call of the sparrow. We are not the stars but the dark Not in the soul but the heart Skin could keep Us all complete But our knit is a stitch pulled apart We are not sound but its shape No murmur, just the oultine lips make Whispered sweet, Where meaning meets The subtle truth that lies never shake When love is not soft And life isnt light When all that is wrong Somehow is our right.

Loves End
We are not the sun but the shadow, Not in the bone but the marrow. Our Secrets deep, where cretins creep And none hear the call of the sparrow. We are not the stars but the dark Not in the soul but the heart Skin could keep Us all complete But our knit is a stitch pulled apart We are not sound but its shape No murmur, just the oultine lips make Whispered sweet, Where meaning meets The subtle truth that lies never shake When love is not soft And life isnt light When all that is wrong Somehow is our right.
When love is not soft And life isnt light When all that is wrong Somehow is our right. And still we let it go.
