Whisper from the Dark
{ words & music by Simon Spire }
*
Sorry I’m too late for you
It’s taken all this time to move
And how long have you waited here, but I never heard my name
I’ve been in love with photographs while you fade
Like a tourist in a gallery, keeping two feet away
But long have we been free?
*
I should have known better than to break a heart
I should have known better than to tear it apart
I should have but I couldn’t and it’s beating without a sound, not a sound
*
I saw a glimmer of a shadow and it was shimmering
I’d like to know how to get to where it was living in
And the soul of the world took a big deep breath it was hovering
In a song that washed over it all
*
And if I had it all over again I wouldn’t wait until the end
We’re here, we’re leaving it bare
I won’t miss it once more I’ll never miss it again
*
I should have known better than to break a heart
I should have known better than to tear it apart
I should have but I couldn’t and it’s beating without a sound, not a sound
I should have known better than to break a heart
I should have known better than to tear it apart
But now I hear it in a whisper from the dark, singing out
*
Call my name once more out loud
So I can hear a forgotten sound
And a touch I never knew
A hand is opening
I’ve been staring at silhouettes
But I won’t miss it again not again
And I’ll never say, Not too close to me
And you can set it all free
*
And if I had it all over again, I wouldn’t wait until the end
Whatever I was trying to find was a wasted life
There’s no safety line this time no
*
Chorus
*
I’ve been in love with photographs
I’ve been in love with photographs
