Written By Miguel Montero

lyrics

he pincher and the spinster (daylight)
words and music: miguel montero

breeze time and letters
reminds you of your mindless little friend
(you are)

you and your freedom are captain
inside your wasteful sleigh
(she was right there inside)

i grabbed your hand in your sinking ship
you're there behind, but your eyes are stitched
you pinched me gently and uttered "it's alright, darling."

your eyelids of roses
are fangs of my mundane days
(slowly etching their marks,
but i rather have it than not have you..)

i pray for salvation, oh help us
someone from above
(only bees can hear us now
and the old spinster down the stall)

i grabbed your hand in your sinking ship
you're there behind, but your eyes are stitched
you pinched me gently and uttered "it's alright, darling."

chor:
Hold me darling, we'll sail away
away from this big mess

a lighter and a firefly
will guide us until this journey ends

you wrapped your arms like a snow
around my skin. "it's cold, i know."
you kissed me softly and uttered "im alright, darling"

the waves came crashing
smashed against our tiny paper ship
(hold me tight, dont go")
i pray for salvation, oh help us
someone from above
(only the wind can hear us now
and the old dark sea awaits us all)

grabbed your hand in your sinking ship
you're there behind, but your eyes are stitched
you pinched me gently and uttered "it's alright, darling."

chor:
Hold me darling, we'll sail away
away from this big mess

a lighter and a firefly
will guide us until this journey ends

ref to end:

i turned around to look for you
all was lost, none but fog
i believe the sea swallowed the girl I loved....
