    lyrics:
     
  • i know all the old patterns
    because i live by the sea
    and what i translate in water
  • it won't come back to haunt me
    so cut another pattern
    to make a suitable friend of me
  • and in your illumination is your apology
     
    what we keep of last night while we sleep
  • it's what we keep of last night
    while we sleep
     
  • and i watch your grave
    be written all over your face
    on the longest day
  • when midnight tries to take my place
    as still as i watch your face
    be written all over your grave
  • should have passed like hours
    passed like years but felt like days
     
  • and you live in the shadows
    of the evenings you mislead
    but they're too real to be forgotten
  • if you choose the right company
    and i run each finger through the dust
    and only through your hair in sleep
  • but it's like the first breath in the morning
    and it brings the past back to me
     
  • what we keep of last night when we sleep
    it depends what we keep of last night
    while we sleep
  •  
    and i watch your grave
    be written all over your face
  • on the longest day
    i watched people fight to take my place
    as still as i watch your face
  • be written all over your grave
    should have passed like years
    passed like hours lost in days
  •  
    and i watch your grave
    be written all over your face
  • on the longest day
    when midnight tries to take my place
    as still as I watch your face
  • be written all over your grave
    what should have passed like hours
    passed like years passed like days
