lyrics

So I made love to a stranger
Just to make sure I was alone
Then I found myself talking to you,
As the leaves in the yard turned gold.

And they say I killed my husband
What exactly do they know?
I renounce my god, my beating heart
That he gave me,
Long ago.

Well you could be the answer
To all this yearning
Or just another step in the dark.

On the floor lies a pile of linen,
I searched but couldn’t find a thing
No scent, so stain, no sign of betrayal
Though I’m
Sure that there has been.

When he sleeps thoughts seep through the pillow
I lay witness to every dream,
Where do you go when we turn out the lights?
Where do you go when you leave?

Should we settle on the clarity
Of the truth that we found first?
Or do we need comparison,
To understand worth?
Knowing that these fancies
Are only twisting at your neck,
And if we chase this feeling
will we end up with regret?

Well you could be answer
To all this yearning
Or just another step in the dark.

Well I was taught
To pay deference as a child,
Maybe it’s the distraction that’s worthwhile.

And you could be the answer
To all this yearning
Or just another step in the dark.
Just another step in the dark.
I said you’re
just another step in the dark.
