Love Lies - Josh Pyke

Summer salted all our winter wounds

And pressed them cool against the tiles

Keep your heat when seasons die

And darken like the night

Unfold this day into a paper crane

And fold the wings from my desires

Courage can be written down

And practiced like a lie

I followed my longing to feel something new

My love, it followed me

Right back to you

Well I trace the map in the curve of your spine

I get lost by the hour in the blink of your eye

In the shadowed valleys of your backbone I find

Love lies

Summer tried to drown my shadow in the sea

But my shadow swims along beneath

And mirrors me on blackened shores

Our darkness never leaves

I followed my longing to feel something new

My love, it followed me

Right back to you

Well I trace the map in the curve of your spine

I get lost by the hour in the blink of your eye

In the shadowed valleys of your backbone I find

Love lies

So I followed my longing

My longing won’t die

I’m still tracing the map in the curve of your spine

And the shadows are lengthening into the night

Well, love lies
