We flew a kite. We watched it soar
It dug our heels into the floor
I knew the moon would wane when you filled my heart again
I’ve always loved how dark you are
We took our time to say “adieu”
Was it a crime or punishment for you?
But mining fool’s gold is still an art
You know I’ve always loved how dark you are
Send a little light for the nightingale
Grace notes swingin’ ‘til they find a place to land
We closed the show. In the final act
You dug those poles into the monster’s back
You say, “It’s life or death for the matador”
And yet I’ve always loved how dark you are
Yes, I’ve always loved how dark you are
We were a pair that had to fold
I was a fool to fall for fool’s gold
