Black Lace Shoulder Lyrics

I’m not tired, I’m not sleeping
I’m not thinking
Uninspired I’m just wasted on your love
I’m sliding with the rain
across your window
As I hide in the sheets
like a phantom on the run
Flesh to flesh and I’m rising
Flesh to flesh and I’m rising
« Don’t talk, only touch » you said
« Don’t watch me too much » you said
I hear my silence
as it weeps before my eyes
on your black lace shoulder
Did you whisper? Are you waiting?

Do you know me?
Unimagined in your unawakened love
I’m empty like a vision in your valleys
I’m lost in the wind
and I long to come to rest
Face to face without feeling
Face to face what you’re stealing
« Don’t give me your heart » you said
« We’re much too apart » you said
But I hear my silence
as it weeps before my eyes
on your black lace shoulder
It’s not over It’s not clearer
It’s not daylight
Unenlightened by your superstitious love
I’m falling from this fantasy of feeling
I’m lost in the night
and the rain won’t lead me home
Flesh to flesh and I’m sinking
Flesh to flesh without thinking
« Don’t think that I’m cold » you said
« My love will unfold » you said
But I hear my silence
as it weeps before my eyes
on your black lace shoulder
