Elysian Magnetic Fields Lyrics - Singles - Dirge

The lighthouse shrinks like lace 

Twisting shades in velvet breath 

Evening wound, sundown grin 

Silken sobs, satin screams 

Night embrace 

As wax and clay paint your face 

I behold starving quicksands 

As you slip through my hands 

Magnetic fields call through 

This growing sleep 

Where i can't trail you 

Where i can't beseech 

Would i wait until 

The bells of morning 

Which reveal 

The angels of spring 

Slumbering birds 

Passing over 

Cracking domes 

And abandoned homes 

But do sleepwalkers know 

Where they flow 

Is there a smile, somehow 

But do we know
