In the morning, when the sleep Is like a drug you’re coming up from And your dreams are whispering final words In languages you no longer speak Will you hold me once before you go Before we face all we’re beholden to Love me when I look the worse for wear With my darkness in the darkness there We’re alone, and we’ll die alone together After all our days are counted up and gone In the evening when the world is old And the sun has chased the sky to bed We can whisper one more chapter Into this book that never will be read ‘Til the final little page falls out And we struggle to recover it Trying to read what we forgot (Desperate for one more page to whisper in) We’re alone, and we’ll die alone together After all our days are counted up and gone And I know that love is just like water paints We mix each other up ’til we can’t separate But all my numbers count back down to you So come dance with me across the floor For however long we’ve got Before the shadow in the corner Checks his watch and motions towards the door And we’re ushered to the exits Like young lovers with a curfew And I’ll hold your hand and whisper “Whatever’s next, I’m gonna love you” Then we’re alone, and we’ll die alone together After all our days are counted up and gone
