Need Your Love Tonight - Studio-Quality AI Music Generator by Tangra AI

[Verse] The padlock on the iron gate is rusted shut The hounds are sleeping in the hollow of the hill I walked ten miles of gravel and cigarette butts Just to find the place where the clocks stand still You were leaning on the porch with a ghost in your eyes Holding a lantern against the gathering dark No more sermons and no more intricate lies Just the scent of the rain on the meadow lark [Verse] The mercury is falling in the kitchen sink The calendar is bleeding from the month of June I’ve had a bitter century to sit and think While the shadows danced to a different tune I tore the heavy velvet from the window pane I threw the brass keys in the bottom of the well I am done with the salt and the winter grain And the ringing of the heavy silver bell [Chorus] I need your love to keep the world away I need to be free with you tonight Before the iron sky turns back to gray And the morning thief steals every light I am trading my shackles for a breath of air I am leaving the wreckage on the shore There is a wilderness for us out there Beyond the closing of the heavy door [Verse] The prophets are all barefoot in the dusty street Selling visions of a city made of glass But I am looking for the place where our pulses meet In the swaying of the tall and yellow grass The generals are counting up the broken stone The bankers are weighing out the heavy debt But I am coming to you marrow and bone With a debt that hasn’t been collected yet [Verse] Don’t ask me for the map or the ancient sign I burned the parchment in the belly of the stove We are crossing over the invisible line To the secret garden and the silent grove The wind is shaking the copper on the roof The clouds are heavy with a thousand years We don’t need the witness or the hollow proof To wash away the copper taste of fears [Chorus] I need your love to keep the world away I need to be free with you tonight Before the iron sky turns back to gray And the morning thief steals every light I am trading my shackles for a breath of air I am leaving the wreckage on the shore There is a wilderness for us out there Beyond the closing of the heavy door
