The Wire 가사

Darling its down to the wire I'm certain we're stalling I'd die to come sit by the fire but the curtain is calling If I were a boat I'd sail to where your beauty could blind me But I am only a wave I wait for the blue to bind me Darling its down to the wire The mercury's rising The stars are about to retire upon the horizon If I were a boat I'd name our love after an ocean But I am only a wave and this is my only motion I hear them playing our songs in lands where shadows are long In places we used to be strong they're playing our song Are you afraid? Yes, I'm afraid Are we alone? Yes, I'm afraid we're alone Darling its down to the wire The fire's a forest I can't tell the chord from the choir The choir from the chorus If I were a boat I would anchor my labors inside you But I am only a wave I dream but to drown beside you I hear them playing our song Wisteria clinging to dawn In places we used to belong they're playing our song I hear them playing our song long after the embers are gone In places our love was all wrong they're playing our song Are you afraid? Yes, I'm afraid Are we alone? Yes, I'm afraid we're alone
