A gift of lilies (Remastered)

[Intro — Low, rhythmic] less like a declaration and more like a spell. A Gift of Lilies VERSE 1 You knew the weather in me I called it shelter Your hand on my waist your mouth saying later love me like this love me like this So I did I made hunger quiet I made wanting slow love me like this love me like this don’t ask where it goes CHORUS Later later later I was always here Later later later pulling you near Later later later like smoke in the room I made absence holy I made a home of you VERSE 2 Lilies on the table too sweet in the heat Your life already crowded no place at for me A key that never turned a wish to enter never granted love me like this love me like this somewhere in between CHORUS Later later later I was always here Later later later pulling you near Later later later like smoke in the room I made absence holy I made a home of you POST-CHORUS I made distance tender I made silence mean I made almost everything look like everything BRIDGE I loved the mornings I loved our ways your body half asleep I loved the little country we kept beneath the sheets I loved you past the evidence past what I could prove But love makes room love makes room love makes room BREAKDOWN No more translating no more almost No more waiting for a door to open No more making hunger look like grace I want love with a little weight FINAL CHORUS Not later not later I want it here Not later not later I want it near No more smoke no more borrowed rooms I made absence holy now I’m making room OUTRO Lilies by the window morning coming through The door is open I am too Someone will know the weather in me and stay
