West Orange

We'll walk into the sunset,
One bright painted sunset,
A skeleton key in my hand,
A dreamcatcher in yours,
Magic around our waists,
Wrinkles alongside your lips.

We'll walk into the sunset,
One bright painted sunset,
No music in the candles,
No fire in the flame,
All hearts broken,
Ours numb and still the same.

We'll walk into the sunset,
One bright painted sunset,
Fear paving way,
For an orange today,
Love all tired and warring,
Against your senses,
Seething.

We'll walk into the sunset,
One bright painted sunset,
When all these worlds collide,
Arm in arm, hearts on the grass,
Our wooden souls unrelenting;
We'll walk away, into the west orange,
Evening summer enchanting.
