Vanilla Twilight

The stars lean down to kiss you 

And I lie awake and miss you 

Pour me a heavy dose of atmosphere 

'Cause I'll doze off safe and soundly 

But I'll miss your arms around me 

I'd send a postcard to you dear 

'Cause I wish you were here 



I'll watch the night turn light blue 

But it's not the same without you 

Because it takes two to whisper quietly 

The silence isn't so bad 

Till I look at my hands and feel sad 

'Cause the spaces between my fingers 

Are right where yours fit perfectly 



I'll find repose in new ways 

Though I haven't slept in two days 

'Cause cold nostalgia chills me to the bone 

But drenched in vanilla twilight 

I'll sit on the front porch all night 

Waist-deep in thought because when I think of you 

I don't feel so alone 



I don't feel so alone 

I don't feel so alone 



As many times as I blink 

I'll think of you tonight 

I'll think of you tonight 



When violet eyes get brighter 

And heavy wings grow lighter 

I'll taste the sky and feel alive again 

And I'll forget the world that I knew 

But I swear I won't forget you 

Oh, if my voice could reach back through the past

I'll whisper in your ear

Oh,darling.I wish you were here
