J. Tillman – When I Light Your Darkened Door Lyrics 16 years ago
To light your darkened door could be to bring light/life/love to a darkened home/heart/person. Or it may be a play on the phrase "to darken your door" which means to come in or visit. And therefore may be the speaker leaving. So is it a love being brought to a person unwilling, or a lover leaving. Either way the name breaks on his lips, and she is beautiful with roses and lilies(the flower of death?) there maybe more, has j. tillman said anything about it?
