Summer salted all our winter wounds And pressed them cool against the tiles, Keep your heat when seasons die, And darken like the night
Unfold this day into a paper crane And fold the wings from my desires, Courage can be written down, And practiced like a lie
I followed my longing to feel something new, My love, it followed me right back to you
Well I trace the map in the curve of your spine, I get lost by the hour in the blink of your eye, In the shadowed valleys of your backbone I find Love lies
Summer tried to drown my shadow in the sea, But my shadow swims along beneath, And mirrors me on blackened shores, Our darkness never leaves
I followed my longing to feel something new, My love, it followed me right back to you
Well I trace the map in the curve of your spine, I get lost by the hour in the blink of your eye, In the shadowed valleys of your backbone I find Love lies
So I followed my longing, my longing won't die, I'm still tracing the map in the curve of your spine, And the shadows are lengthening into the night, Well, love lies
