You arrived

[Verse 1] You arrived, a silent sign, In the cup, a bitter light and dark. I hold your gentle gaze, Like a dress I lost and left behind. On the table lies a packet, Whispering of what is gone. Sweet smoke of bygone moments The walls of this house protect. [Chorus] Tell me in the quiet air, What is burning in your fire? I am walking toward that call, Overflowing, past my shore. Tell me in the quiet air, What is burning in your fire? I am walking toward that call, Overflowing, past my shore. [Verse 2] My throat remembers well this taste, Like a heavy, binding pact. I drink your shadow to the dregs, Where only bitterness is left. Night has fallen at our feet, Our tired doorstep falls asleep. On my lips a law is set, Life goes passing like a dream. [Chorus] Tell me in the quiet air, What is burning in your fire? I am walking toward that call, Overflowing, past my shore. Tell me in the quiet air, What is burning in your fire? I am walking toward that call, Overflowing, past my shore. [Bridge] You are laughing in the gloom, And it lightens me somehow. In this golden, warm brew We will leave the past behind. Slowly turning round, White steam rising high. I accept All this heat. [Chorus] Tell me in the quiet air, What is burning in your fire? I am walking toward that call, Overflowing, past my shore. Tell me in the quiet air, What is burning in your fire? I am walking toward that call, Overflowing, past my shore. [Outro] The first sip... Into your night... I drift away...
