Geoff McKenzie - Desdemona Lyrics

Seems like time is running backwards
Holding on to these haphazard
Dreams that come around so rare
Desdemona are you lonely?
I wouldn't ask it's only
I find I'm running out of air

Seems like time is busy elsewhere
Mending someone else's threadbare
Heart, left out in the snow
Desdemona, do you remember
Barcelona? Forever
My mind looks for you back there

Pale moon in your eyes
Spanish starlight in your hair
Soft, upon your lips, my name
Did it ever touch your lips again?

Dessie, I was 21 then
Measured time in sixteenth rhythm
Half of you went missing in the blur
But time refunds the missing pieces
I can see the deeper spaces
Now, I danced around before

Memory rewinds so slow
The moment that you go
Again, is looping like a crime
Both our lives, trapped in amber
Nothing changes, still I wonder
How it is I'm running out of time?

Pale moon in your eyes
Spanish starlight in your hair
Soft, upon your lips, my name.
Did it ever touch your lips again?

Seems the wine is almost empty
Swallowed up like the twenty
Years that seeped beneath my floor
Do you ever search the pages?
Eight billion aging faces
Only one is yours

I see you now like we're under water
Diving after dreams I thought were
Sunk too deep to ever rise back here
Desdemona are you lonely?
If I've never asked, it's only
Because I'm running out of air
