lyrics
Her love afloat, a firefly
Burning, fading in the night
And for a moment breathes its life
As love whispers and moans
Draw her near and hold her, oh so close
Slowly steal her amber glow
To be so alive and so alone
As love whispers and moans
I see her now she smiles and sings
Burns through the fog with the light she brings
And I fear she'll find out I'm less than I seem
As love whispers and moans
And I'll sing and shout and run my mouth
Halfway in and halfway out
As I wander this world forever in doubt
Love just whispers and moans
She says, "What's the truth darling? Where did it go?"
And she thinks I'm holding back my love
But I can't give what I have not
And love whispers and moans
She's sees me now, all the shine worn off
Behind the veneer that hides the rot
Now she's halfway and she's halfway out
As love just whispers and moans
Yeah she sees me now, all the shine worn off
Behind the veneer that hides the rot
Go on ahead my darling, you're better off
As love whispers and moans
Go on ahead my darling, you're better off
As love whispers and moans
Burning, fading in the night
And for a moment breathes its life
As love whispers and moans
Draw her near and hold her, oh so close
Slowly steal her amber glow
To be so alive and so alone
As love whispers and moans
I see her now she smiles and sings
Burns through the fog with the light she brings
And I fear she'll find out I'm less than I seem
As love whispers and moans
And I'll sing and shout and run my mouth
Halfway in and halfway out
As I wander this world forever in doubt
Love just whispers and moans
She says, "What's the truth darling? Where did it go?"
And she thinks I'm holding back my love
But I can't give what I have not
And love whispers and moans
She's sees me now, all the shine worn off
Behind the veneer that hides the rot
Now she's halfway and she's halfway out
As love just whispers and moans
Yeah she sees me now, all the shine worn off
Behind the veneer that hides the rot
Go on ahead my darling, you're better off
As love whispers and moans
Go on ahead my darling, you're better off
As love whispers and moans
