lyrics

In the beginning there was light
Her want was eager, gently eager
Staring down the thoughts of doubt
I knew that she was only playing

Nothing truly black and white
Hands through hair and skin entwined
And if my fingers graze your skirt
Your breath will catch against my throat

As dark will face us in the deep, graying sea
I'll never meet you in this crooked sleep

Straight and narrow, trace my spine
Convince ourselves that this is fine
This fire in your bones will spread
The heat will tie us to your bed

Lead me not into temptation
I know better than to fall
Follow me into the water
Strip me to my bones in dark

Who am I to press the issue
Who are you denying it
Merely curious and lonely
Til the end we'll both resist

Let me take you to the edge where
We can wade into the sea
As our bodies freeze together
Aching from the vaporous heat

Lead us not into temptation
Lord, deliver us from sin
Crack my ribs in angry wisdom
Never to be touched again

And now I'll creep upon the ground
Ashamed of asking what she felt
The taste of apple on my lips
As we buried what we did

As dark will face us in the deep, graying sea
I'll never meet you in this crooked sleep
