[Verse 1] You were nothing but the fragrance of an old dream That was just time playing tricks on my mind You've escaped from all the pictures that I remember You come back as a bottle of wine [Verse 2] In your letters, I can see your mouth was moving Your voice was at the tip of my recall Then your ghost could only brush against my t-shirt Now your body shows up to take it all [Verse 3] And your movements, I could match before your maker I know them deep enough to paint them in the air Life is a liquid and I stretch far past its borders I have a feeling you'll be waiting for me there [Pre-Chorus] And my city shakes its head at my wilderness And my heart has built a mind for itself And I have found a little shelter inside of a sickness I'll be waiting for the icicles to melt [Chorus] But I wanna borrow the night, use it on you When the sun goes down Let's leave these rusted old folks back in the city Where they belong Where they belong [Verse 4] And your children, like little wolves, they go unnoticed As the diamonds play their game against the sand And I have found an ocean in the doorway of your body I know the secret, but I haven't got a plan [Chorus] And I wanna borrow the night, use it on you When the sun goes down Let's leave these rusted old folks back in the city Where they belong [Post-Chorus] There was a cloud in my face And now I gotta wash my eyes 'Cause I though love was just a strip mall Baby, you are a surprise You are a surprise
