Velvet Against The Cold

[00:13.17] The lamp has burned its wick to bone

[00:16.43] I leave the days debris alone

[00:20.18] The window silvered by the dew

[00:23.44] A glass between the world and you

[00:26.69] The floorboards settle let them groan

[00:30.20] I've made the silence here my own

[00:33.71] I've made the silence here my own

[00:39.97] Oh let the dark put on its velvet

[00:43.73] A heavy weight against the cold

[00:46.98] I find the places where the shadows gather

[00:50.49] To keep the secrets that we hold

[00:54.00] Night is the shield and night left on the earth

[00:55.75] Night left on the earth

[01:00.51] The road between us is a dream

[01:04.26] A frozen lake, a buried stream

[01:07.77] I trace the map of where you are

[01:11.27] By no light but a distance star

[01:14.53] In this dark room but a distance star

[01:18.04] In this dark room the world is thin

[01:21.79] And I can let your image in

[01:28.05] Oh let the dark put on its velvet

[01:32.06] A heavy weight against the cold

[01:35.32] I find the places where the shadows gather

[01:38.57] To keep the secrets that we hold

[01:41.83] Night is the shield and night left on the earth

[01:46.34] Night left on the earth

[01:49.10] The morning is a bright pretense

[01:52.10] The morning makes no sense

[01:55.11] Don't let the sun break through the gate

[01:59.11] Don't let the shadows hesitate

[02:02.62] Oh let the dark put on its velvet

[02:06.12] A heavy weight against the cold

[02:09.63] I find the places where the shadows gather

[02:12.88] To keep the secrets that we hold

[02:16.64] Night is the shield

[02:18.39] And night left on the earth

[02:22.40] Night left on the earth

[02:23.90] Just the shadow

[02:26.91] Just the night

[02:32.92] Just the weight
