Sin Shades Well What Lit the Heart

Sin shades well
What lit the heart
And love fades
As contention starts

The first to go
Joy... belonging
Caresses flow
Intimacy...longing

A door closes
between two souls
One... searching...knocking
Unto but holes

Yet, some reminiscing is heard
The door opens some distance
For tender, loving words
The marriage has a chance

Sin shades well
What lit the heart
And love fades
As contention starts

The first to go
Joy... belonging
Caresses flow
Intimacy...longing

A door closes
between two souls
One... searching...knocking
Unto but holes

Yet, some reminiscing is heard
The door opens some distance
For tender, loving words
The marriage has a chance

[Verse 1] Sin shades well 

What lit the heart 

And love fades 

As contention starts 

The first to go 

Joy... belonging 

Caresses flow

 Intimacy... longing

 [Pre-Chorus] A door closes 

Between two souls 

One... searching... knocking 

Unto but holes 

Yet some reminiscing 

Is heard again 

A little softening 

Behind the pain

 [Chorus] The door opens 

The door opens 

For tender words 

For tender words 

The door opens 

Some distance grows 

The marriage has a chance 

The marriage has a chance

 [Verse 2] Names come back 

In a quieter room 

The old hurt loosens 

It moves too soon 

A look returns 

Not cold, not gone 

Just two tired hearts 

Still holding on

 [Pre-Chorus] A hand reaches 

Through the fear 

What was broken 

Feels less near 

And every memory 

Starts to mend 

Not all at once 

But again 

[Chorus] The door opens The door opens For tender words For tender words The door opens Some distance grows The marriage has a chance The marriage has a chance

 [Bridge] One stays still One learns to stay No more turning Walking away A small soft yes At the edge of night Not all love comes Back to life 

[Final Chorus] The door opens The door opens For tender words For tender words The door opens Some distance grows The marriage has a chance The marriage has a chance
