lyrics

If you take your time,
I will take mine.
I will lie supine
if you take your time.

Heard a bronze bell toll
while the pale moon shone.
Took a walk alone
and heard a bronze bell toll.

We say, "We're fine,"
and claw through the night,
and on the drive home,
we take our time.

Calico
heart of gold and maroon.
See it gleam
and bleed.

Calico
heart of gold and maroon.
Speak to me!
Wash me clean!

If I take your time,
will you ever mind?
Will our hearts align
if I take your time?

Down at the salty shoal,
I feel fully exposed.
I feel my fears erode
down at the salty shoal.

We intertwine
and slacken our eyes,
and when we must go,
we take our time.

Calico
heart of gold and maroon.
See it gleam
and bleed.

Calico
heart of gold and maroon.
Speak to me!
Wash me clean!

If you take your time,
I will take mine.
