The Bombadils - Magnifying Glass

You come with your magnifying glass
Read the words upon my heart
Trace your fingers along the lines
Tangled in that secret part

In darkness with your skeleton keys
You open every box
Softly read the letters to me
Of faded and forgotten thoughts

I've been keeping out the cold with stone Walls and ivy
I'd build a fire but nothing warmed me
Until you came calling my name
No matter what you found
You loved me just the same

The veil of my heart falls to the earth
You put your loving hands where it hurts
You kiss the lining, delicate as a butterfly
I'm stretched wide as a prairie sky

You lift the dust when you breathe
Dandelion seeds upon the breeze
There's a pin prick of light in the deep, deep, deep
Where I didn't know anyone could reach

I've been keeping out the cold with stone walls and ivy
I'd build a fire but nothing warmed me
Until you came, your face lit by the flame
No matter what you found
You loved me just the same

I must have been writing about you
With every detail that came true
But love fell in, long before the final pages
Fumbling through the hidden spaces
