|
He looked like a young man, |
|
But his eyes were old. |
|
He touched me gently, |
|
But his hands were cold. |
|
My hands are cold. |
|
His voice was calm, |
|
But he was hunting for prey. |
|
I started feeling dizzy, |
|
And he watched me sway. |
|
I watched you sway. |
|
He stared at me with eyes black as coal, |
|
The man who swallowed my soul. |
|
The morning air, |
|
And the sunlight he stole, |
|
The man who swallowed my soul. |
|
He kissed my cheeks, |
|
My eyebrows, my neck. |
|
I followed him blindly, |
|
There was no turning back. |
|
There's no turning back. |
|
He sucked the lifeblood, |
|
Out of my veins. |
|
Left me and my nightgown |
|
Covered with stains. |
|
Covered with stains. |
|
He said his kiss would make me whole, |
|
The man who swallowed my soul. |
|
The breath of life, |
|
From my lips he stole. |
|
The man who swallowed my soul. |
|
He stared at me with eyes black as coal, |
|
The man who swallowed my soul. |
|
The morning air, |
|
And the sunlight he stole, |
|
The man who swallowed my soul. |
|
He said his kiss would make me whole, |
|
The man who swallowed my soul. |
|
The breath of life, |
|
From my lips he stole. |
|
The man who swallowed my soul, |
|
The man who swallowed my soul. |
