"Dark Back" lyrics

Dogs were barking the moon was black
As we stood there swaying with the dark on our backs
Slipped through your fingers and I held you tight
I could have rocked there slowly in the cold all night

My body was telling you my mouth wouldn't say
Time it was standing but I knew it wouldn't stay

Danced alone in the streetlight and I sang you a song
Kissed you once last time saying it won't be long
Til our arms again would be wrapping around
I didn't know if it was so but I took comfort in the sound

My body was telling you my mouth wouldn't say
Time it was standing but I knew it wouldn't stay

I stepped slowly ascending the stair
Looked back only once and again met you there
Passed my message like smoke from my mind through my eyes
Watched it float to you gently watched it float into the night

My body was telling you my mouth wouldn't say
Time it was standing but I knew it wouldn't stay
My body was telling you my mouth wouldn't say
Time it was standing but I knew it wouldn't stay
