lyrics

The darkest days, they come on like a storm
And I forget, we can all be reborn
Standing on stilts, I gaze upon the moon
Laced up in mist, she vanishes so soon

But through the night, you give me artificial light

Coyote cries, hungry to the bone
Blood on a branch, drips into the snow
A restless wind, wakes me with a fright
Shadows creep in, I pull the curtain tight

But through the night, you give me artificial light

Within your eyes, the world stops its spin
Outside myself, enchanted by your grin
Undressed at dawn, the moon sails out to sea
And in her wake, we dream of what could be

All through the night, you give me artificial light
Oh my shelter, my lover, it's over
