[Verse 1] I love you where the old roads crumble, Where every promise learns to rust, Where hands let go in the dark of morning, And even our shadows turn to dust. I love you in this wounded country, Where every silence closes like a door, Where lies wear the faces of angels, And distance asks us for something more. [Pre-Chorus] May no star burn your profile, May no god remember your name, May not even the wandering wind Find the road by which you came. [Chorus] I love you in the thin windows I love you through the rain One breath from breaking the silence One kiss from becoming pain I love you in the thin windows I love you all the same One breath from breaking the silence One kiss from becoming pain [Verse 2] For the world is a house of thin windows, And love is a candle against the rain, One breath from breaking the silence, One kiss from becoming pain. Still, I will make you a pure day, Clear as a river before the storm, Free as the wind returning, Warm as the place where two hands form. [Pre-Chorus] And I will make it again tomorrow, When the fields have forgotten the rain, Like ordered waves forever blossoming, Like the sea calling back your name. [Chorus] I love you in the thin windows I love you through the rain One breath from breaking the silence One kiss from becoming pain I love you in the thin windows I love you all the same One breath from breaking the silence One kiss from becoming pain [Bridge] I love you here, where nothing is certain, Where everything beautiful can disappear, And that is the terror I carry: To have found you in a world this fragile, To have found you—and keep you near. [Final Chorus] I love you in the thin windows I love you through the rain One breath from breaking the silence One kiss from becoming pain I love you in the thin windows I love you all the same One breath from breaking the silence One kiss from becoming pain
