lyrics

I show up in a little black dress out of fear
There was nothing that I could suppress
It was dark by the time that we got to the pier
I was wine-drunk and clinging so you would stay near

Oh, the whites of your eyes dotted Christopher Street
And the weight of your palm was familiar and sweet
It was beautiful and it was cutting
The void of our emptiness shutting

I have little regard for extravagant things
In a flurry of snow, something sad in me sings
I will never get over tonight
How our sameness entwined in a cluster of light

It was beautiful and it was cutting
To welcome the closing of windows and doors
The void of our emptiness shutting
My clearing a space for swallowing yours

You're taking your time with me
I'll outlast you inevitably
'Cause what you don't see
I bend the will
Twist the trunk of the tree
For better or worse
You're a part of me
