Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Into this strange elastic world
Pontus kindly gave up a pearl
Of his eternal stone and mud
And ain't she lovely bone and blood
[Verse 2]
Born of the sea
Thousand miles away from me
A court of angels, ward of the sun
A future formin', a curse undone
[Verse 3]
Under our softly burning lamp, she takes her time
Tellin' stories of our possible lives
And love is the ink in the well
When her body writes
[Verse 4]
I've been selfish and full of pride
She knows deep down there's a little child
But I've got a good side to me as well
And it's that she loves in spite of everything else
[Verse 5]
A song in the tree has distracted her mind
Some other curious form of life
Has made its presence to her known
And she coos so gently, soft and low
[Verse 6]
Her shining face in a million reflections
On tiny raindrops that fall in a veil
Over our city like notes from above
And it's overwhelms me, just ain't that tough
[Verse 7]
It's not that the darkness can't touch our lives, I know it will in time
But she's no ordinary valentine
And now, when the sun goes down
She shed a darling light
[Verse 8]
I've been selfish and full of pride
But she knows deep down there's a little child
But I've got a good side to me as well
And it's that she loves in spite of everything else
