Lyrics — Crimson Theorem
A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain
The radio plays songs from someone else
She folds the map and drives without a name
A telescope aimed at an empty chair
The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene
A satellite receives but won't respond
Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer
He trades his coat for silence and a key
The floorboards creak in dialects of cold
He trades his coat for silence and a key
The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay
Counting shadows on the basement stairs
She folds the map and drives without a name
