Nothing Sweeter

{lyrics}

Wash your face in the dark bathroom
Lean on the basin and the fault
Does your reflection watch you the way I do?
Standing vigilant in the hall

You can cry tonight but don’t linger on
The hard knot in your chest and palms
I was only as far as your heart could throw me
And, love, you’ve got a lousy arm

The layers of jewelry I shed
Prompt a furrow to your brow
Asking “you’re staying?” with a tilted head 
Lover, I’ll always be your safe house 

You can cry tonight but don’t linger on
The hard knot in your chest and palms
I was only as far as your heart could throw me
And, love, you’ve got a lousy arm

Of course, I’m here
Of course
Of course, I’m here
Of course
