[Lyric] Sweet Little Sorrows (Old Night)

We lay together in the shadow
Of an old wych elm tree
Kisses were stolen and
Sweetnesses exchanged in secrecy
The sun crept through the leaves
Making strange shapes on its way
Casting shadows on your smiling face
Making me think you’re one of the fay
With my head in your lap
Fitfully resting for a moment fleeting
Still unaware of the greater powers at play
I think I heard a second beating

Though one of strength and courage
There are no elfin magics in this tale
Just wildly unexpected news
Silently whispered in that vale
Oh bliss! Oh joy! Yet words
Awkwardly stumble on the tongue
Blindsided by emotions overwhelming
As ones in songs of yore were sung
An army of two we were
Always alone against this realm
Four, now I count in the shadow
Neath the old wych elm
For the love of those sweet little sorrows
From dungeon dark to the highest peak
Gladly I would venture forth
For so seldom we are granted what we truly seek
