To my eyes
Taste my tears
On your tongue,
Pull the blinds
Play our song
Nothings changed
Nothing could be wrong.

All of these promises

As we both become older.

Your arms bound about me
Em
The hush in your voice.

The warmth of your fingers

Entwined around mine
Em
In the eve of our lives
Em
Never a choice.
