[Verse 1] You came in slow through my mother’s screen door Rain on your boots, gum on your tongue I seen your eyes like blackbird trouble Seen my name in the curl of your smoke My apron hem caught on the table Your hand got lost in the lace of the lamp I tried to speak, tried to bless that moment But my mouth went dry like a prayer in sand [Pre-Chorus] Lord, that look was a long-tail rumor That grin was a match in the cane I felt my heartbeat climb the staircase Then fall back down again [Chorus] No words came out No words came out You stood there close And the room spun round No words came out No words came out Baby, that hush Made a holy sound (No words came out) [Verse 2] Your laugh was a peach pit split open Your kiss was a coin in a well I wore that night like a red silk secret While the moon kept its mouth to itself You said my name like a Sunday warning I said your name with a cracked little breath And every lie I ever learned in church Fell off my tongue and left me bare [Pre-Chorus] Lord, that look was a long-tail rumor That grin was a match in the cane I felt my heartbeat climb the staircase Then fall back down again [Chorus] No words came out No words came out You stood there close And the room spun round No words came out No words came out Baby, that hush Made a holy sound (No words came out) [Bridge] We were two church hats in a thunderstorm Two figs split open in July Your hands like smoke on a skillet My bones like nails in soft pine And I swear the house leaned forward Like it knew what we’d become When your mouth met mine in the doorway The whole porch swung on one thumb [Chorus] No words came out No words came out You stood there close And the room spun round No words came out No words came out Baby, that hush Made a holy sound (No words came out)
