Dusk to dusk
And head to pillowcase
And tonight I think
I'll let the winter
Take me

Pace and pace
Until everything is too tired
To ever dream of
Ever being tired
Again

Smile and nod
Shake hand after hand after
Promise after hand
Until the hand falls off
With the truth

Action reaction
Shiver more when the cold
Is brand new and
The image of green grass
Is still fresh

Wander this place
Search for another world
With a black moon
And a god that says
I’m here

But dusk to dusk
And head to pillowcase
And tonight I think
I'll let a promise
Take me
