Lyrics
Silken Walls
© 2004 Jesse Rubenfeld
[1]
At the end of the day
She's all that I need
I'm old and I'm grey
And I have to be freed
Hours are anxious and all so heavily weighed
My nerves are split at the ends and bound in a braid
But . . .
[Chorus]
Every time she lets it all come down
There is not another living soul around
I reach out into the falls
I used to think that I could walk away
Now I'd tell her anything to make her stay
Safe inside silken walls, silken walls
[2]
At the end of the night
As I'm rising to leave
She'll tie herself tight
And be wound in a weave
Combing the sun from her highlights and into the sky
It curls, craving her gaze, waving goodbye
And . . .
(chorus)
[Bridge]
She blows in the wind, goes by me
As the sweet salty air graces the sea
[Instrumental]
(chorus)
