Centauri - Monochrome Night Lyrics

Kept cool under the shade of your maple tree
On the hill behind your house
Your legs swinging from branches above me
Voices carried on wind from the south

Climbing down to lay between my legs
Sweet whispers brush my skin
Two lovers together quietly beg
On the drunkenness of gin

And the moon would love us eternally
Color washed out in the light
Oh, we'd carry each other fervently
Across the monochrome night
My head pressed against your chest
Gentle thrum of your heart
Lulls me softly to rest
Tears down the hardened guard

We'd watch the sun's quiet rise
From the comfort of our home
Covered legs kept warmly entwined
Against the morning's cold

Hands carding through silken hair
Frost biting from the hall
Stood behind your dining chair
A love that's much too tall

And the moon would love us eternally
Color washed out in the light
Oh, we'd carry each other fervently
Across the monochrome night
My head pressed against your chest
Gentle thrum of your heart
Lulls me softly to rest
Tears down the hardened guard

Laughter exploring empty trails
Follows the midday heat
Filled with the scent of leaves stale
Wading through lake that's waist-deep

A crown of golden sunlight
Forms the halo 'round your head
Your eyes still shining bright
As across the nettles we tread

And the moon would love us eternally
Color washed out in the light
Oh, we'd carry each other fervently
Across the monochrome night
