[Verse 1] I saw you in the ash With your boots half-torn On that broken fence By the cornfield road Your face was lit By a bruise of gold Like a match in rain Like a secret told [Pre-Chorus] And I reached for you Through the blackened day You turned your head Then the ground gave way [Chorus] You are my darkest sun My darkest sun Burning through the runoff Burning through the rust You are my darkest sun My darkest sun Even in the wreckage I run to your heat [Verse 2] Your hands were stained From the engine oil You laughed like a knife Through the winter soil I kept your name In my shirt sleeve seam Like a folded map To a fever dream [Pre-Chorus] And I swore to myself I’d hold that flame Even if the whole sky Learned your name [Chorus] You are my darkest sun My darkest sun Burning through the runoff Burning through the rust You are my darkest sun My darkest sun Even in the wreckage I run to your heat [Bridge] If the morning comes And it takes you clean Leave me one black spark In the in-between I’ll carry it home In my clenched-up fists Through the cold hard fields And the cracked eclipse [Final Chorus] You are my darkest sun My darkest sun Burning through the runoff Burning through the rust You are my darkest sun My darkest sun Even in the wreckage I run to your heat You are my darkest sun My darkest sun Stay in my bones now Stay in my heat
