This Big Hush
Is there a fire in the sky?
Is there a moon up there?
Is anything alive now?
This darkness is what I hear
This is a breathless silence
a moment out of time
I see your face in the shadows
The tell-tale signs are in your eyes
More than I can hold in my hand
running through the gaps like water
Aching with a passion inside
deep as the river
All desire
the ashes and the fire
turning this night inside
and the light from you
Is there a flame in the dark?
is there a bright heart star?
These creatures look the same now
We freeze wherever we are
We wake alone in the blackness
We sleep whenever we fall
One dream all around us
This big hush infects us all
Holding up an animal fear
Soaking up the waves underwater
Tuned to music no-one can hear
forever in this half-light
All desire
the ashes and the fire
turning this night inside
and the light from you
