I Lay With You

Last night,
I lay with you
in the shadows of your room.
I brushed my lips
on your brow
and as the anger went away,
so a fever took its place:
one that burns
in my chest;
one that takes
what it can get.

That's right, baby.

That's right.
I lay with you.
There was traffic,
there were shouts in the street.
In your room
we just shut the city out.
"When the silence gets too loud,
you can burn up the night.
You can take,
take what you like."

Buy my silence with a kiss, maybe.
Like this.
