Two lonely lovers
Looking for others
To hold all that they have to give
But taking the leap
Is never as steep
As going the distance
Constellations of fireflies
Light up the summer skies
We can't help but stay out til dawn
The dew on the grass
My head in your lap
And you're humming softly
Cast iron and glass
Makes a careful match
Your down home strength
My fragile tenderness
The mist of the downpour
Comes in through the screen door
We're dancing by hurricane lantern
You're hand on my waist
Your eyes on my face
I feel like you know me
All the cruel things we've said
Some still in our heads
They hover and settle between us
What do you take me for
I'll walk out the door
But I'm already looking back
Cast iron and glass
Makes a careful match
Your down home strength
My fragile tenderness
Cast iron and glass
Makes a careful match
Your down home strength
My fragile tenderness
Are the bones of this house
Ooo ooo oo oo oo oo
Two lonely lovers
Looking for others
To hold all that they have to give
But taking the leap
Is never as steep
As going the distance
