"Subtle Love" lyrics

"Subtle Love"

Lost in memories that in your bed you found
Grass lay bent in warmth you gathered around
You're every dream the oceans heave
Unto the shore, they form and feed

It's a subtle kind of love
It's a simple kind of glory

By painted edge, I saw you standing down
In the purple light, the flag there on the ground
To be rocked and cradled by failed hands
Wounds where flesh is torn and mends

It's a subtle kind of love
It's a simple kind of glory

The day has scattered the light across your mouth
Keep your words, but lend me your warmth a while
Then here, I'll leave you, here I'll go
And no one follows, so no one knows

It's a subtle kind of love
It's a simple kind of glory
It's a mother's wet tongue
It's a melody outpouring
