Dust and Coal

You're the star and I watch you burn
I'm the moon on a different turn
You're so full but I feel so old
You can't spark desire upon dust and coal

Slowly turn separate ways
Fitful night, comes each day
And as we dissolve, there comes a crack in the wall
Take hold of my hand, and pull me through the shame of it all

I'd rather never see you again
Set fire to the ship than let you be my friend

You're the star and I watch you burn
I'm the moon on a different turn
You're so full but I feel so old
You can't spark desire upon dust and coal

I won't be carved in stone
Beautiful flesh and bone
I can't stand looking at you through a veil
Let go of my hand, can't you see we're top and tail

I'd rather never see you again
Set fire to the ship than let you be my friend

Than let you be my friend

You're the star and I watch you burn
I'm the moon on a different turn
You're so full but I feel so old
You can't spark desire upon dust and coal
