Chandeliers

When all of the pieces align When the balance is clearly defined We'll sigh and we'll settle down For the first time But held in museum display Time pulls us further away And when we rebuild it All of the details fade Into the tide Where the sun fills our eyes Only silhouettes Will remain in the place Where our rare bird of grace appeared In our pale imperfect light Our palms will stabilize And your brightness Will close our heavy eyes And we'll dream with you We'll dream with you When we awake, we are left With the eggshells inside of the nest And the promise that one day soon It will come back to us When we reach into the night Where the water will rise Your wings will unbend In your brilliant display All out worries will wash away On pale, imperfect eyes Chandeliers rely And the brightness will Weave lace out of light When we dream of you In our pale, imperfect light Our palms will stabilize And the brightness Will close our heavy eyes When we dream of you We'll dream with you
