C Am Em
Relax my hands on the table.

Uncurl my fingers to reveal superficial indentations.

Crescent moon shapes mark the surface of my palms,

It's twilight: your shadows lurking over again.

your shadows lurking over again.

C Am Em
Try to hinder foolish pride
C Am
From shooting out my mouth like a gust of wind
Em C
And blowing out your light.
Am Em
All I want is you to shine.
C Am Em
And I'll wait here with you until sunrise. (4x)
C Am Em
I am blinded by your light,
C Am Em
Your dark shadows always lurking behind you. (2x)

And I'll wait here with you until sunrise. (2x)
