lyrics

A hard place to leave; the curtains let in a little light
Your arm the heaviest arm, your hair the darkest
And the paperback book of your shoulders lying open,
face down, to keep my place
Your arm the heaviest arm, your hair the darkest

The darkest hair and the widest shoulders
Put your arms around me
With the wrestle and rest of the evening all behind us now
It’s quiet, quiet
Your arm the heaviest arm, your hair the darkest

A hard place to leave; the curtains let in a little wind
Your arm the heaviest arm, your hair the darkest
While the steadiest clock of your breath keeps track of the hours
I will let it, let it
Your arm the heaviest arm, your hair the darkest
