If I Leave You In The Night

If I leave you in the night screaming but still believing then we have something left to salvage to dredge back into life from the oily pit of that black night back into the light. If I stay, then sure, as there is night and day, something will die and descend here never to be recovered, darling. That is why I walk away, that is why I linger behind you like a satellite trapped in orbit like a comet tail, I'm ready for the impact but I'd much rather leave the stage and join you behind the curtains like a raven on the wind going nowhere. If I follow out of sight like a fallen leaf Blown apart into a million stratospheric splinters Will you mulch in my bones once again And glow like an ember, always golden Will you grow out of this night like a sunrise? Like an ivy vine wanting to climb, Wanting to climb and entwine the sky. Will you be mine? If I stay, then sure, as there is night and day, something in us will live on after tonight.
