Silk Wind Promise

Lyrics

[Verse 1] You came in on the dusk wind With apricots in your hands Dust on your sleeves like gold From the road through the hills I watched the way you smiled At the kettle on the fire And my heart beat slow and steady Like a horse in the grass [Pre-Chorus] Stay a little longer Let the night unroll Your name in my mouth Feels like warm silk [Chorus] Hold me close, my love Hold me close tonight Silk wind, take us home Silk wind, hold us tight Hold me close, my love Don't let the morning steal Silk wind, take us home Right where your hands feel real [Verse 2] You traced the edge of my cup Like you knew my hidden song And the moon hung low and silver Over rooflines and wheat I kept my words in my chest But my eyes gave me away When you leaned in for the answer I was already yours [Pre-Chorus] Stay a little longer Let the night unroll Your name in my mouth Feels like warm silk [Chorus] Hold me close, my love Hold me close tonight Silk wind, take us home Silk wind, hold us tight Hold me close, my love Don't let the morning steal Silk wind, take us home Right where your hands feel real [Bridge] [Flute Break] If the road calls you far Then carry me with you Tie my scarf to your saddle And I will follow [Final Chorus] Hold me close, my love Hold me close tonight Silk wind, take us home Silk wind, hold us tight Hold me close, my love Don't let the morning steal Silk wind, take us home Right where your hands feel real
