Desdemona Lyrics

Seems like time is running backwards

Holding on to these haphazard

Dreams that come around so rare

Desdemona are you lonely?

I wouldn't ask it's only

I find I'm running out of air

Seems like time is busy elsewhere

Mending someone else's threadbare

Heart, left out in the snow

Desdemona, do you remember

Barcelona? Forever

My mind looks for you back there

Pale moon in your eyes

Spanish starlight in your hair

Soft, upon your lips, my name

Did it ever touch your lips again?

Dessie, I was 21 then

Measured time in sixteenth rhythm

Half of you went missing in the blur

But time refunds the missing pieces

I can see the deeper spaces

Now, I danced around before

Memory rewinds so slow

The moment that you go

Again, is looping like a crime

Both our lives, trapped in amber

Nothing changes, still I wonder

How it is I'm running out of time?

Pale moon in your eyes

Spanish starlight in your hair

Soft, upon your lips, my name.

Did it ever touch your lips again?

Seems the wine is almost empty

Swallowed up like the twenty

Years that seeped beneath my floor

Do you ever search the pages?

Eight billion aging faces

Only one is yours

I see you now like we're under water

Diving after dreams I thought were

Sunk too deep to ever rise back here

Desdemona are you lonely?

If I've never asked, it's only

Because I'm running out of air
