"Failing Light" lyrics

"Failing Light"

And the tide is rushing out and everything is being left upon the shore
Are you waiting?
I'm a leaf into an autumn breeze, an afterthought of an awoken dream

Into the falling light
Your open mouth
Your honesty
And your hardness
Everything is made to pass
My ships are sailing for you

There are lions in their cages have not seen the wild outrages that I do in
In your eyes
And a ghost among the others just to slip beneath the covers of this world
And meet you

By failing light

There's a note upon the counter says "you'll never get it better than this"
So I keep it
And I hold it in my pocket as I watch you move from room to room
Like a secret

In failing light
