This evening tastes like the city
On a hot summer day
This wine is the color of blood
That lives inside of me
I closed my eyes and wished that I could be
Invisible, but
You held onto me
Oh, the world could end on a night like this
Come and stand in my arms
Close to me
Oh, the world could end on a night such as this
Rest your face on my chest
Let me kiss your hair
The air tonight is humming with distant static
Like an untuned radio
The old factory tonight, it is haunted
At the back of our street
By Yesterday
I closed my eyes and wished I could be infinite
Spread out, and you touched
My arm, lightly with your
Hand, and held me together,
All bound up.
And the world could end on a night like this
Let me hold you under the stars
And let us listen
To the city and the night
And let me kiss your hair
Because the stars are still there.
