[Verse 1]
Shadows crawling up your window
Coffee cooling in your hands
Morning should be turning golden
But the sky has other plans
Tiny halo round the silence
Birdsong holding in its breath
Every second feels elastic
Stretching tight around your chest
[Chorus]
Eclipse of reverence
When the dark leans close to the dawn
I see your face in the absence
Like the sun that keeps shining on
In this eclipse of reverence
I remember what we almost lost
Hold you like a fragile promise
While the daylight counts the cost
[Verse 2]
Streetlights fade into the grayscale
Cars move softer through the haze
People stare up like a question
Waiting on the world to change
On your neck a faint reflection
Ring of shadow
Ring of fire
All the things we never whispered
Rise like smoke
Then climb higher
[Chorus]
Eclipse of reverence
When the dark leans close to the dawn
I see your face in the absence
Like the sun that keeps shining on
In this eclipse of reverence
I remember what we almost lost
Hold you like a fragile promise
While the daylight counts the cost
[Bridge]
What if love is just this moment
Half in darkness
Half in bloom
Standing quiet at the edges
Of the light that fills the room (oh)
I will meet you in the middle
Where the shadows blur and bend
If the night can kiss the morning
We can start again
Again
[Chorus]
Eclipse of reverence
When the dark leans close to the dawn
I see your face in the absence
Like the sun that keeps shining on
In this eclipse of reverence
I remember what we almost lost
Hold you like a fragile promise
Till the last cold star is gone
