In the hush of the summer night,
We'd slip out through the barricades
To watch the transports arrive,
Your head on my chest,
Your skin on mine.
Humming in my heart
Humming in my heart
Every little touch
Buzzing particles of light
In the hush of the summer night.
Every bit of matter swooned, and
Every moment swelled beyond our bodies.
We were big like destiny.
And all the dangers at our door
Were no more.
Living in the shadow of paradise,
We'd whisper in the corners of the factories
Planning our lives
In the hush of the summer nights.
And every word I said
Every word I said
Every little promise we made -
A particle of light
As close as your head on my chest
Your skin on mine.
Every bit of matter swooned, and
Every moment swelled beyond our bodies.
We were big like destiny.
And all the dangers at our door
Were no more.
