You said the way we slept was like we were dancing

Hands linked above us in a ballroom pose

There's only a few steps total we could take 

But I'll need another to tend to this ache

Oh my dress cascades and your creased pleats

Glide as clean as a shell game

Watching the shuffle till we cannot recall

Where the prize was put in the first place

Our hair was still damp from the amusement park that day

Under the spell of the sun I was rolling up your sleeves

When we were finally dry I knew it'd be the last time

I recorded your sacred laugh to keep

Oh my dress cascades and your creased pleats

Glide as clean as a shell game

Watching the shuffle till we cannot recall

Where the prize was put in the first place

Midnight like this in the dark earth green

Saying hi to me as you cook something

It's nothing more than the last centimeter of tea

A silk tent in the rain 

The turn of your house key
