Come the hollow dusk Eyes and hearts adjust The dilated iris of a weeping love Pools that don't reflect Tangled at the neck Like two swans, swim into the sunset See them now Crooks and carnivores are closing Bar the door And hide my ruby heart 'til morning Itemize what's left And wake the weary dawn Holding fast, holding fast Holding fast, holding fast Dimensions of the room Secrets of the moon Kept safe in cypher and in whisper These words of yours and mine Onyx and iodine They always, always heal what's wounded Hear them now Crooks and carnivores are closing Bar the door And guard my ruby heart 'til morning Catalog what's left And wake the weary dawn Holding fast, holding fast Holding fast, holding fast Come the hollow dusk Eyes and lives adjust Widening the view of what's in front of us
