Lisa Hannigan - Braille lyrics

 

For you, I leave my light on

To do its best against the storm.

And you came in like the tide and

I knew that we could keep each other warm.

 

You bring crocosmia and fuschias,

And I, I sing your name into the night.

A king of salt and stones, your compass,

It swings from you to me tonight.

 

We’ll swim without a word between us,

Our breath held in.

We reel in love in the ocean,

Braille on our skin, on our skin

 

I fill a glass with what you’ve gathered

They wilt against the window pane

In the morning sees you off with nets to scatter

You will come in with the tide again

 

We swim without a word between us

Our breath held in

We read enough in the rush of

Braille on our skin, on our skin

 

We swim without a word between us,

Our breath held in.

We read enough in the rush of

Braille on our skin, on our skin.
