Lyric

I found your page at dawn

Still warm from your hands

Blue marks on your fingers

Like tiny secret plans

The tea had gone to amber

The room was half-awake

You smiled at my silence

And let the soft day break

And every line you wrote

Turned into light

A little spell of morning

Held in plain sight

Sunlit ink on your hands

Sunlit ink, stay there

Write my name in the gold

Keep it soft, keep it there

Sunlit ink on your hands

Sunlit ink, my heart

If the world turns cold again

You can make it start

You traced the margin once

Then laughed at your own fear

Like nothing bad could follow

While I kept you near

The window held a heaven

Of pale and patient blue

And every word you offered

Looked like something true

So let the page keep glowing

Let it stay bright

We are only beginners

Learning the night

Sunlit ink on your hands

Sunlit ink, stay there

Write my name in the gold

Keep it soft, keep it there

Sunlit ink on your hands

Sunlit ink, my heart

If the world turns cold again

You can make it start

If the dusk comes calling

I'll bring the flame

You keep that golden scripture

And I’ll do the same

Let the shadows gather

Let them bend and part

One small stroke of morning

Can redraw the dark

Sunlit ink on your hands

Sunlit ink, stay there

Write my name in the gold

Keep it soft, keep it there

Sunlit ink on your hands

Sunlit ink, my heart

When the last star loosens

You can make it start

Sunlit ink on your hands

Sunlit ink, my dawn

All the quiet magic

Still goes on and on
