I couldn't just pick one line

Night Winds - Geographer


a photograph and a whisper, will find me in the night 
like the sound of sad dogs, wishing they could cry
it's something only we know, underneath street lights
shadows make things easy, so I made you mine

this would be so simple, if you were fast asleep
and all the bottles you throw, they would be lost at sea
and you could take my letters, and rearrange the words
you could read them backwards, until you liked what you heard

if I could know what they know, then we could sell this gold
and I could wear your halo, when the nights grow cold
and you could wish my child's eyes, would turn to clouds and part
and I could wish that I lied, when I said I lost your heart

so long the days that melt away, so loud the words you could not say

if only last december, had stayed beneath the snow
I hear your muffled laughter, after the curtains close
you the sound of night winds, in the dark you grope
trying to find some likeness, under my wrinkled clothes

so long the days that melt away, so loud the words you could not say
