Dark Roman Wine Lyrics

I will hang on the hook of your splendor

As the night rolls us up in its arms

And the square of your thumbs and your fingers

Is the blanket of sky that's so warm

I know it's late but i can't help but think here

That the day hasn't shown all its cards

Now its out to the stars or the ocean

Lets not retrace our steps to the car

Picking out all the stars that we like between

Finger and thumb

You laugh as you pass me the night as if its

Too fragile to hold

And i hold it so close to my chest with your

Hands in my hands

You say this is just how we'll rest until

Light turns to sound

Now your eyelids they faint and they shiver

Like the wings of the last bird to leave

For the south for the heat for no reason

I watch as they fly for sheer joy

The wind shakes the branches above us

And the cars shake the ground at our backs

But the dark roman wine in our bloodstreams

Makes the cold just a word just a sound

Picking out all the stars that we like between

Finger and thumb

You laugh as you pass me the night as if its

Too fragile to hold

And I hold it so close to my chest with your

Hands in my hands

You say this is just how we'll rest until the

Light turns to sound
