And I'll be till I'm through
And I'm light on my feet
Good to be without you
Distant light, distant dancer
Mute at midnight she might look like the answer
But I'm all that I need
So it's true, I've gone too far to find you
And the thumbprint scar I let define you
Was a myth I made you measure up to
It was all just water, winding by you
And the basking, gnashing, foaling, feeding
And the rising, falling, melting, freezing
And the raising for destroying feeling
(All we do, this repeats)
You've got all you need on me
And now I see that it's all corroding
Soonest seething, soonest folding
But the night won't last if you just hold fast, so calm down
(I'm hardly made of steel)
Tell me, are you so concealed?
(Can't I just go to sleep?)
You're no more so blind to me
Are you alone?
I don't believe you
Are you at home, I'll come right now
I need to see you
Thin as a shim and Scottish pale
Bright white light like a bridal veil
"I don't need you"
Cut to chewed through finger nails
I was a child in the ivy then
I never knew you, you knew me
Not like you knew me
Off on the other ocean now
All is behind you, all is sea
I am all that I need And I'll be till I'm through And I'm light on my feet Good to be without you Distant light, distant dancer Mute at midnight she might look like the answer But I'm all that I need So it's true, I've gone too far to find you And the thumbprint scar I let define you Was a myth I made you measure up to It was all just water, winding by you And the basking, gnashing, foaling, feeding And the rising, falling, melting, freezing And the raising for destroying feeling (All we do, this repeats) You've got all you need on me And now I see that it's all corroding Soonest seething, soonest folding But the night won't last if you just hold fast, so calm down (I'm hardly made of steel) Tell me, are you so concealed? (Can't I just go to sleep?) You're no more so blind to me Are you alone? I don't believe you Are you at home, I'll come right now I need to see you Thin as a shim and Scottish pale Bright white light like a bridal veil "I don't need you" Cut to chewed through finger nails I was a child in the ivy then I never knew you, you knew me Not like you knew me Off on the other ocean now All is behind you, all is sea Explain Request ×
