Satin in the Dust (Version 2)

Verse 1

Fingers brush the velvet of your sleeve

Satin whispers against my palm now

Dust motes dance where the sunbeam comes to rest

Your breath is low in a room turned grey with smoke

Pre-Chorus

Hold still, let it settle slow

Breathe through this and I'll find what's true

Chorus

Satin in the dust we both hold tight

This hour keeps us suspended in gold light

Not chasing dawn where shadows start to rise

Satin in the dust and we remain here open-eyed

Satin in the dust that holds our faces still

Nothing moves beyond this pale and velvet chill

Verse 2

Your coat is darker than the walls around it now

Fur stands up on collar like you've been sleeping through this too

I run my thumb across a silver button, soft as a cloud

Nobody's called us to be anywhere but right here in this room

Pre-Chorus

Hold still, let it settle slow

Breathe through this and I'll find what's true

Chorus

Satin in the dust we both hold tight

This hour keeps us suspended in gold light

Not chasing dawn where shadows start to rise

Satin in the dust and we remain here open-eyed

Satin in the dust that holds our faces still

Nothing moves beyond this pale and velvet chill

Bridge

No alarm clock asking who we are today

Just a city breathing slow through dusty blinds on this one floor

Your eyes are amber, heavy as honey

Not a single thing left to hold us here again

Just these four walls and the two of us in it now

And the dust that holds our faces still so deep inside

Chorus

Satin in the dust we both hold tight

This hour keeps us suspended in gold light

Not chasing dawn where shadows start to rise

Satin in the dust and we remain here open-eyed

Satin in the dust that holds our faces still

Nothing moves beyond this pale and velvet chill
