Liminal

Liminal became my creed
On the floor inside your house on New Year's Eve
The space between my head and heart
The distance often seems just too far

But I can't stay like this
I can't stay like this
I can't stay like this
Don't leave me like this

I wasn't looking, but she found me
I wasn't listening, but she spoke
In her affection, I am sinking
It's while I was sleeping that I woke

Now the months and years have passed
The shadows have offered a strange kindness
Not a sort that's rare or blind
Won the dances because of the fire's light

But I can't stay like this
I can't stay like this
I can't stay like this
Don't leave me like this

I wasn't looking, but she found me
I wasn't listening, but she spoke
In her affection I am sinking
It's while I was sleeping that I woke

I wasn't looking, but she found me
I wasn't listening, but she spoke
In her affection I am sinking
It's while I was sleeping that I woke
