lyrics

All available light finds itself attached to you...and this, to relieve the things that you know I’m going through. As you speak them, words shake loose from resonance of common use. Tension transforms to tonic; something catches your eye...and we step out from the club where the music blasts so loud. We separate from a crowd that I could not care less about, as your hair coils and twists like miniature Möbius strips, reflecting slivers of streetlamp. You have upset the night with all available light. On a dreamless sleep’s vast landscape, or in a car, curled like a cat, or on a dance floor full of slack shoulders, or from a pocket of a fraying backpack...some gifts arrive in distressing disguises, but yours appear transparently; no grand gestures, no definitive statements. Just your remarkable glow. And all discomfort will bow to your luminosity as I stare in disbelief at all these things you’ve done for me. But I will promise this to you: whatever threatens to intrude that you may construe as darkness, then against this I will fight with all available light.
