For tonight the city wears a veil
Like the buildings are within
Light bulb skin, looming
With the bending grace
Of something on a stem

And there are no lines to stay within
So instead I'm listening
The rhythm of rain
And someone's voice
Today you are white
You're white and soft

Like I've learned down
To kiss your brow
Go to sleep now

Like I've learned down
To kiss your brow
Go to sleep now
