For a Soft Heart

from Compass by Anchoress

/

lyrics

Don’t leave me dancing with myself,
You know how much I need you.
So hold me closer, baby blue.

The sun fell into the islands off the bay
And pulled the stars along behind, tied to his sleigh.

It’s high tide, and the water laps our feet.
All late summer nights should be spent on a beach.
Weather permitting, we will never have to leave.
From where I’m sitting, you’re the brightest star I see.

It’s in that minute, inches apart,
I feel it spinning, my beating heart.
The air is tense, the lights are dark.
The room is a powder keg and she is the spark.

Don’t leave me dancing with myself,
You know how much I need you.
So hold me closer, baby blue.
Don’t leave me dancing with myself,
You know how much I need you.

So hold me closer, baby blue.

And in that time of calm,
The seconds right before dawn,
I grasp up at the sky,
Try to make this moment mine.

Dear love, a toast to this night:
To all the stars in your eyes,
To all nights yet to unfold,
To our love, to have and to hold.
