Calavera Moon Waltz

Under the silver moon

I lay my flowers down

Your name in candlelight

Is the softest sound

I turn in quiet circles

Where the old roads part

Carrying your memory

Like a second heart

Dance with me

Between memory and devotion

Closest breath

Slowest prayer

Deep as the ocean

If you are a flame

Then I am the night

We meet in the walls

Where love keeps its light

The violin is weeping

The accordion sighs

Brushed nail like footsteps

Passing through the sky

I lift my hands to welcome

What the dawn may keep

And place my longing gently

In the roots of sleep

Dance with me

Between enemy and devotion

Closest breath

Slowest prayer

Deep as the ocean

If you are a flame

Deny and deny

We meet in the walls

Where love keeps its light

No sorrow you can silence

What the heart still knows

Every fall of petals

Every tender rose

In the hush between worlds

I feel you near

Not gone, just turning

Softly through the year

Dance with me

Between memory and devotion

Spin through the dark

In a living motion

If you are a flame

Then I am the night

We meet in the woods

Where love keeps its light
