We met in the east Poured in like the flood You're the whispering kind Dark sapphire blood A vision of veils All shimmery white Like a backdrop of sails All a'glow from the light Of the wonder behind that stormy night In the mountain song and the blue jay's call My heartbeat flows in crystal waterfalls You're so beautiful in your elegant bed You'd have my blues For your Nantucket reds I'd wait in the dark Balanced on the thread So I'd wait in the dark Balanced on this thread And under the church light You stand there With your wicked blood and your curls Yeah, under the church light You stand there in your fur and your pearls These lines were here Long before we came 'round These lines were here And there's an ember in the rafters And it's gonna bring this whole thing down In the neon mist I heard you breathe An exquisite sound Some secret symphony Your silken skin My fingers rough In the midnight dim We went home and touched Beneath the chandeliers In your persian's dust Beneath your chandeliers And your persian's dust And under the church light You stand there With your wicked blood and your curls Yeah under the church light You stand there In your fur and your pearls These lines were here Long before we came around Yeah, these lines were here And there's an ember in the rafters An ember in the rafters There's an ember in the rafters An ember in the rafters There's an ember in the rafters An ember in the rafters There's an ember in the rafters An ember in the rafters Yeah, there's an ember in the rafters An ember in the rafters There's an ember in the rafters An ember in the rafters And there's an ember in the rafters And it's gonna bring this whole thing down
