Warmer in the Dark - 1970’s Enka version

You come in late with a mouth full of smoke I see your hands, but I know what they wrote You leave me bruised in the shape of your name Then vanish clean like your part in a game Your shadow stays by the heel of your shoe It knows how to hold what you never do It waits in the hall when you turn to go Warm on the wall where the broken things glow I learned your face, I learned your trace I learned the cold behind your grace But in the dark, in the dark, in the dark Something stays soft when you leave a mark Warmer in the dark Warmer in the dark Your shadow loves me more Than you ever did before Warmer in the dark Warmer in the dark It never cheats, never lies It just stays by my side You wear your charm like a knife in a sleeve And talk so sweet while you dress and leave I watched you fold every promise thin Like cheap lace caught in a heavy wind But that black shape at the edge of the room Knows every crack where the night flowers bloom It leans on the wall while you tear me in two While I still cling to the pieces of you I learned your face, I learned your trace I learned the cold behind your grace But in the dark, in the dark, in the dark Something stays soft when you leave a mark Warmer in the dark Warmer in the dark Your shadow loves me more Than you ever did before Warmer in the dark Warmer in the dark It never cheats, never lies It just stays by my side Let the room go black Let the pulse come back I don’t need your name I don’t need that flame I take the outline I take what you denied If love was the lie Let your shadow stay mine Warmer in the dark Warmer in the dark Your shadow loves me more Than you ever did before Warmer in the dark Warmer in the dark It never cheats, never lies It just stays by my side You left me the wreckage, the wine, and the smoke But you missed the dark little thing that awoke It gathers the cracks in the room and the wall Your shadow-self as it answers my call Warmer in the dark Warmer in the dark Your shadow loves me more Than you ever did before It never cheats, never lies It just stays by my side Warmer in the dark Warmer in the dark
