I remember your silhouette
on Dyes Inlet
Against the silver sheen of a
moon like painted glass
Under stars out on a pier
A celestial sphere
We were weightless as the
waves that disappeared
Northern lights filled our skies
Empty nights synchronized
We shared a clove cigarette
on the parapet
As the TVs glowed from the
windows of the model homes
And I'd never be that close
again to your lips and
perfect skin
As the tide receded
into the unknown
Northern lights filled our skies
Empty nights synchronized
Northern lights filled our skies
Empty nights synchronized
I remember your silhouette
on Dyes Inlet
Northern lights filled our skies
Empty nights synchronized
Northern lights filled our skies
Empty nights synchronized
