From the recording Chiaroscuro
It’s a sunset, either of a relationship, or of a life. Both are true, depending on the day. What’s the most tragic part to me is that only the protagonist knows that it is the last time he’ll be singing; this is their last moment together…so hold me one night more.
Lyrics
Welcome in
You caught me imagining
the perfect way to go.
Sunsets won’t alter the consequence
So tell him he can wait, and
hold me
one night more
So far
this is more than I’d bargained for
So transfer my phone call
back to the first syllable
I’m here with my hands full
Of nothing to show at all
because no, I don’t think that I’m ready for more
I might have died today, but
There’s always tomorrow
Heading west,
and into the violent reds
that only twilight knows,
he confessed. But, given the circumstance,
tell him it’s too late, and
hold me
one night more
he was a
crepuscular twist of fate
but then, to avoid
the blame,
he claimed reincarnation
but so far, this is more than I’d bargained for
