Sulfur Moon

Lyrics

Verse 1
I keep a jar of dawn
under the sink by the salt
A coin from a saint
and a match with the head burnt off

You came in soft as soot
with that grin on your face
Pulled my name like silk
and left it on the lace

Pre-Chorus
Say it slow
Let it change me
Touch the ash
Till it shines

I know your kind
I know mine
We both came here
to cross the line

Chorus
Sulfur moon, stay low
Sulfur moon, don’t go
Turn my black heart gold
Turn my black heart gold

Sulfur moon, stay low
Sulfur moon, let go
I can taste the rose
On your borrowed smoke

Verse 2
Your perfume hit like rain
on a train yard door
Old velvet, bitten fruit
and a little bit more

You read my palms for free
then you took my ring
Said every broken thing
can learn to sing

Pre-Chorus
Say it slow
Let it change me
Hold my throat
Like a vow

I’m not afraid
of the dark
I’m afraid
of what I know now

Chorus
Sulfur moon, stay low
Sulfur moon, don’t go
Turn my black heart gold
Turn my black heart gold

Sulfur moon, stay low
Sulfur moon, let go
I can taste the rose
On your borrowed smoke

Bridge
In the blue glass room
I saw my old skin crack
You smiled like a thief
When the mirror smiled back

So take what you want
Take the last of my name
I was born from the fire
I can leave by flame

Final Chorus
Sulfur moon, stay low
Sulfur moon, don’t go
Turn my black heart gold
Turn my black heart gold

Sulfur moon, stay low
Sulfur moon, let go
I can taste the rose
On your borrowed smoke
