Desert Amber

Neon humming in the terracotta heat A private desert bar where the strangers meet I looked at you, then looked down at my shoes Believing I was someone you would only lose A quiet fire wrapped in stubborn pride Thinking I wasn’t enough to keep you by my side. thought I’d forgotten the feeling Till your name came back around Like a song I knew by heart Waiting to be found... Now moonlit whispers find where the secrets hide No room for doubt, no place for pride. Oh, untwine me... then pull me in Leave the taste of salt upon my skin Heavy like the earth, wild like the flame We don't need a past, we don't need a name Just the hunger where the dark takes hold Blowing all this frozen ash to gold. Ten years gone, but the feeling stayed Like a slow dance caught in the amber haze One turn across the floor, you took my breath away Somebody’s arms can still feel like home Every inch of the mind, every inch of the skin Knowing exactly where the law ends, and we begin... Fourteen years of waiting for what we couldn't say No more running with the wind alone Just the beautiful weight... Of the salt and the stone. Finally home.
