From the recording Dig
Lyrics
Verse
It's the tension of the hour when the sun refused to set
And the balance there of power I felt a draw to
Where the blackest of the sky came down
To the darkest of the sea
It's the blackest pace of all I've found where I first saw you
And the heat rose from the blacktop
And it rained down off the palms in sheets
And it filled the air I swear I put my fist through
I lay down there beside you beneath the blade of the sun sharp heat
and it pulled the veins up off my neck as I kissed you
Chorus
Now where the kisses fall
You're always there to call with blackened sugar
Sweet tart
I swear your kisses all would blacken sugar
Verse
If I look back now, if I look back then
If I look right through you
It all comes around, it comes back again
Just how I knew you
Chorus
I'm not here to judge the rain
Or burn up in the sun
Is there there peace somehow
Sweet tart
Verse
It's the tension of the hour when the moon refused to set
And the battle there for power I felt a draw to
Where the blackest of the sky came down
To the blackest of the sea
It's the darkest place of all I've found
Where I saw you
Chorus
There's no measure for the pain
No medal to be won
It's just the hear and now
