From the recording Across a Carnival

The album closes with a sparse, atmospheric piano meditation on loneliness and grace, as comfort passes between two fragile people—perhaps friends, perhaps strangers—each less certain than the other assumes.

Lyrics

This cold night is alright by me
Now lay down on warm ground, just be
No crying, no dying in this place
All open, words spoken, embrace

Night sky, pass by, only one
Inside, pulled tides, moon and sun
Violence, silence, falling
Lost cause, long pause, calling

You seem to know me

Shine, oh shine
You wicked soul
