lyrics

In a darkened room, well I dreamt of losing you
And the thought alone, well it broke my bones in two
In a halfway home, I felt the knot come loose
In a darkened room, well I dreamt of losing you

Oooooh

With your mother’s clothes and your father’s broken truth
And your sister’s dream of a sky so clean and blue
And your landlord’s rage at the bills unpaid and due
With your mother’s heart, there was no way you could lose

Oooooh

In the silvery night by your candlelight
Well I knew my name and I knew my right
And the night forgave all our family pain
And we left it there for the birds to claim
And I saw the slip of your sunset dress
From your shoulder blade to your holy wrist
And I knew at last that the cursed past wouldn’t find us here
I was in the clear
with you
