feels colder
when it rains in september
and when I know why

feels heavier
when he doesn’t appear
and when I know why

the stars misaligned
the moon rised out of time
it rained from the ground towards the sky
and I dreamt that we were damned
the night we first locked eyes
but it was too late by first light
I loved you at dawn

the ladders broke down
the groundwaters froze up
nightfall seized before its time
the gold on my chain turned brown
all warnings not to go down
but it was too late by first light
I loved you at dawn
