I don’t know where our stillness comes from
Where it goes when you leave
I saw a slow firelight
Flashing in the woods
And when I turned to grasp it
Darkness it released
Circle near
Now you pass it
But your silence speaks more than you’d hoped to say
And soon I realized what, this firelight flashing
Just a distant star a thousand miles away
You can leave my little starling
You can leave if you wanted to
Leave in constellated flicker of your going
Pull me into orbit circling you
Here it is, the stuff we’re made of
Bones and dreams and midnight whisperings
Concur amidst the humid summer air
Your love’s unspoken but the touch is lingering
You can leave my little starling
You can leave if you needed to
Leave in constellated flicker of your going
Pull me into orbit circling you
I don’t know where an evening comes from
Where we’ll be when it leaves
Just one more kiss
A fire returns to the sparks it came from
Before the darkness gives its ultimate reprieve
One kiss before you’re going
One kiss and then we’re through
One kiss in constellated flicker of your glowing
Pull me into orbit circling you
Pull me into orbit circling you
Circling you
