Autumn's Passage - Nerves Lyrics

The language I didn't know
But the words still spoke to me
Sending ripples through my veins
Sending sparks to your delicate frame

As the world slowly melts away
As faces become animals
And statues with no meaning to us
I lay down next to you
And when the sounds became less
My nerve fell out of my chest
And I thought to myself
Perhaps you'd been there all along

Leading flames to the open stage
Holding on if I float away
I would have let it be
But I felt you hold my fingertips
