lyrics

A scattering of sand on glass
and I am awake.

The room then silent, ice, still.

I feel you, around me,
and I am lucky.

Until the rain.

More sand, thrown harder,
wet and heavy now, shut outside.

How you’d pull yourself upon me on nights like this,
we would share our warmth, our bodies
whilst the curtains slowly danced.

Wait for me, my love.
Wait for me beyond these fearful nights, beyond these overran years.
I will raise ours, and I will raise them well, for us.
