If I could say the words

And make it all for real

Would it make the wind more soft

Change the way your burning fire feels?

If I could say the words

That make it known for good

Would it be a waste of breath

Explicitly what we both understood?

But in a word of white

Your coat is mine overnight

If I could find the words

To call the angels over us

Halos, oh so round and bright

The only other witness to our love

We'll put aside the words

Race through the hidden streets

Hooves will fly like birds in flight

We notice that there's no more ground beneath

But in a word of white

My coat is yours overnight

But in a word of white

This coat

With my head to your heart

Head to your heart

As beats slow down to seconds apart

I never speak
