Half-Light

Music by Some Swords

Lyrics by Jeremy Quillo

Hard luck, fading into half light

A heart stuck, fading with the last tick before midnight

You left your window

Cracked open just enough

The last days of June

Climb into my room


Hard luck, I regret my vessel

Never made it there last year

These waters, they were never

Quite this clear… last year

This current, so unkind to keep me here

Last year

These waters, they were never

Quite this clear

Never quite this clear

Never quite this


Hard luck, fading pages

Falling from my hand

Only to land, burning,

On the sand


I left my window cracked open

Just enough

The last days of you

Climb into my...


So I’m setting out for the other side,

For the yellow sky

It’s miles away

I will fade to half-light,

Half-light, half-light


Setting out through the ice storm

Survive another year

One end of a kite string

Frozen into fear

It’s setting in, so I’m 

Setting out for the other side

For the yellow sky

It’s miles away

So I will fade to half-light,   Half-light, half-light
