the lights at matchless glow
like lanterns in the night
i spend my evenings here

and at morning, walk outside
there's a light behind your eyes
that will never dim or fade

in the absence of the sun
you will shine and burn and blaze
all day.


brooklyn's waterways
remind me of a storyline

of something built beneath the waves
and forced to contend with the tide


let's swim out tonight

and ensure our fate is sealed

you'll be lana turner
and i'll be john garfield
pass the phone

pass the break
within night or the divide
we'll swim out on our own will

but return on borrowed time

there's a light behind your eyes

that will never dim or fade
in the absence of the sun
you will shine and burn and blaze

all day
all day
all day.
