Liminal

Liminal became my creed, on the floor inside your house on New Year’s eve
The space between my head and heart, the distance often seems just too far

But I can’t stay like this
I can’t stay like this
I can’t stay like this
Don’t leave me like this

I wasn’t looking but she found me
I wasn’t listening but she spoke
In her affection I am sinking
It’s while I was sleeping that I woke

Now the months and years have passed
The shadows have offered a strange kindness
Not a sort that’s rare or blind
But one that dances because of the fire’s light

But I can’t stay like this
I can’t stay like this
I can’t stay like this
Don’t leave me like this

I wasn’t looking but she found me
I wasn’t listening but she spoke
In her affection I am sinking
It’s while I was sleeping that I woke

I wasn’t looking but she found me
I wasn’t listening but she spoke
In her affection I am sinking
It’s while I was sleeping that I woke
