Lyrics

Verse 1

The window is not a window It's a frame around the light The glass on the table holds the afternoon The way a hand holds water

Chorus

Between the stone and the key The light comes through Between the stone and the key The light

Verse 2

A thread crosses the room It doesn't arrive anywhere It crosses The box is open on the table Inside: a photograph of a room With a window that is not a window

Chorus

Between the stone and the key The light comes through Between the stone and the key The light

Bridge

The hand that took the photograph Is not in the frame The hand is the gap The hand is the light Between

Chorus

Between the stone and the key The light comes through Between the stone and the key The light

Outro

The box is closed The light is inside
