In loaded darkness
Under fake stars
The weary velvet glows
And time is soft like gold
And time is soft like gold
I paint the backdrops
Weekends and nights
While you run lines
Imagine you’re just so
Imagine you’re just so
In the darkness of the back room
You can feel your feelings grow
There’s a sign says what the date is
Like I don’t already know
In the cool eye of the mirror
I will work on a little close lipped smile
That night I dream I’m
Hired to clean
The windows of your room
And everything goes dark
And everything goes dark
And I weave between the tables
Like an eagle through the trees
And I land before your family
And your eyes lock onto me
And I’m handing you your menu
And there’s teardrops in your eyes
And you say I think we’re ready
And I say yeah so am I
There’s a window in the bathroom
There’s a deer on the other side
There’s a number on the napkin
There’s a number on the napkin
There’s a number on the napkin
