I saw you near the doorway coat damp from the rain You looked like you were hiding your name Your hands were full of вечер and old regrets You laughed like a match that hadn’t gone out yet I let you borrow silence for a minute or two You said, “Don’t ask me what I’ve been through” So I stayed close where the shadows lean Your eyes said stay but your mouth said leave I heard my heart make a careful sound Like a moth on your sleeve circling down Moth on your sleeve I keep coming back Moth on your sleeve to the edge of the black If you let me in I’ll learn your rain Moth on your sleeve say my name Your apartment smelled like winter and burnt-out tea A cracked little plate and a bent brass key You traced the rim like it told your fate I kissed the bruise that your words still made So I stayed close where the shadows lean Your eyes said stay but your mouth said leave I heard my heart make a careful sound Like a moth on your sleeve circling down Moth on your sleeve I keep coming back Moth on your sleeve to the edge of the black If you let me in I’ll learn your rain Moth on your sleeve say my name You don’t have to be so hard to hold I know the shape of a guarded soul Lay your walls down slow let the silence breathe I’ll be the soft fire you can’t leave Moth on your sleeve I keep coming back Moth on your sleeve to the edge of the black If you let me in I’ll learn your rain Moth on your sleeve say my name Moth on your sleeve I’m not afraid Moth on your sleeve I’ll stay, I’ll stay
