Silvanus Slaughter

Lyrics

Light and dark, they sing this way
I knew the night I met you
I would love you

I swooned to all you had to say
too youthful too suspect your words
might no be true

What's real between the sheets
may not survive the ruthless sun
the fog and dark give birth to things
that also must be done.

Oh, Seattle's such a lovely place
a twilight pearl dreamt up beside
an ocean

The monorail, the secy gloom,
the marketplace and rockstar
hopefuls out of tune

We took it to the limit
just as far as want could go
Victoria was witsful but Vancouver
seemed to know

it's always chiaroscuro...
chiaroscuro in my mind.
it's always chiaroscuro...
chiaroscuro in my mind.

I said that I got no regrets
forgive me, maybe I just some collector
of memories and ones who pass
my way to someplace Heaven deems
me suited for

but maybe you'll reflect on that truth
that we found at night:
the brevity of fireworks
is what makes them burn so bright!

it's always chiaroscuro...
chiaroscuro in my mind.it's always chiaroscuro...
chiaroscuro in my mind.
