lyrics

The Sheltering Sleep

Under the breaths of wider heaven
I saw the flocks of faces
So many faces, memories of fields
Behind each mournful gaze

Beauty above us, a silent frame
Human confetti, scattered again
The sound of your name
Distant as my birth

Holes in the clouds where I saw you fall
The sheltering sleep keeps us warm

We descend together to a silent warm dark
That runs in our veins and softens our bones
Words are so pretty that each
Is a neon sign on the street

Holes in the clouds where I saw you fall
The sheltering sleep keeps us warm
Warm

Miss your skin
Miss your scent
Miss your colour
