Sweet Invisibility

The wind is howling hard outside
It cleaves us silently apart
Your permanence it reassures
My insecurity it starts
I’d worry for the whole damn thing
If I was slashed with fear and wants
But I am slick and safe with you
Free from little cricket taunts
Compared to all the powers that be
Our love’s invisibility
The lights are searching for us, dear
But we’re as black as holes down here
Compare to all the powers that be
Our love is sweet invisibility
We’re lying back on the cold iron
River and summer surround us
We are dreaming oh so bad
On the old and industrious
Look up high for the big man!
Scraping the clouds away
One strong arm is all he’s got
One strong arm — sold and bought!
Compared to all the powers that be
Our love’s invisibility
The lights are searching for us, dear
But we’re as black as holes down here
Compare to all the powers that be
Our love is sweet invisibility
Compare to all the powers that be
Our love is sweet invisibility
