Pressure and Heat Paroles

To the direction of night
To the darkness of your delight
To the end

Oh Shannon, your eyes are so bright
You are a circle of shadow and light
You're the embrace so many long for in the night
We're all going away, why don't you stay for a while

Seven days past, I saw a family feeding in the nest,
Now it's fifteen hours past you left me lying lonely on a stone rest,
Smoking like a man who'd been sentenced to death,
Doomed to lose sight and all senses and breath,
I was shivering, shaking when you left me alone
Hollow and shocked on the stone,
And bewildered

Oh Shannon, you burn and you bleed,
You are a refugee of health and disease,
Oh but you're a diamond from all the pressure and the heat Will you decide which of these I'm gonna be today

Oh Shannon, your eyes are so bright,
You are a circle of shadow and light,
You're the embrace I swear, I long for in the night
We're all going away baby, someday why don't you stay for a while
