I can hear your fingers on the window pane

If I was in the dark, if I was in the light

If we were walking through the forests of the night together
Imagining a shared experience, walking together in the mysterious forest of the night.
If we were taken down, down into the heart

Keep quiet, I hear you
Command to maintain silence, possibly to preserve a delicate emotional state.
Keep quiet, I hear you

When you sing, I think I know more than I hear you speak

I have to keep it close enough to me

'Cause I don't want to disrupt all you think

Baby, with these open arms I pray,

I will not see the day without you

Homeless is the driving wind

And I will run away with him without you, without you

Without you
-When you sing, I have to keep it close just as a hymn

And in your breath I know just what you sing

And spoken words might not be all we speak
