lyrics

DUST AND WAX

Oh we had a spark so brilliant
my love and I
and we wrote a pact and sealed it
vowed to keep it bright
So we found ourselves a lantern
and thought we were safe
not seeing where the light was bending
not seeing how the warmth escaped

But while we were packing I found
soft, hand-rolled candles
buried in a drawer
and I cried to see the pair like that –
dust clinging to the wax

I think everyone’s smoking now
just to prove they can breathe
see this cloud above my head?
well, that air was in me

CHORUS

So scortch me, Love,
but do it quick
Pass our fingers
near the wick
Pour a pool onto the paper
and press our thumbs into it
