lyrics

As two green lovers burning for each other
that was all we needed to know
Breath and skin on fire, hearts pounding like thunder,
bodies drawn by the moon and lure of its glow
Gleaming star filled eyes, conversations till sunrise,
turning on records, and swaying real slow.

But shadows grow long and time feeds the hunger
to feel the lightning strike once more
The arms of one another was all we needed to know,
now we hold each other like we're letting go.

Rheumy shipwrecked eyes, tattered blue
were stars that flickered for the little things
Unsheathe your frozen heart from its winter coat
Stir the spirit of a sleeping summer dream

Teeth grow long and memory feeds the hunger
to ride the lightning once more
The arms of one another was all we needed to know,
now we hold each other like we're letting go

Shadows embrace, twisted in knots
stirring ghosts of a sleeping summer dream
In lonely darkened rooms lashes fall
Wanton hands can't wash themselves clean

Shadows grow long and time feeds the hunger
to feel the lightning strike once more
The arms of one another was all we needed to know,
now we hold each other like we're letting go
