|
I see her from the deep garden |
|
And her hair is soaking wet |
|
The bedroom light is flickering |
|
To the pounding of your heart |
|
Close your eyes and count to ten |
|
When they open you're asleep |
|
Slow your breathing down to meet |
|
All the shadows and the ghosts |
|
Pieces of your heart collapse |
|
To the sound of beating drums |
|
You can't contain it anymore |
|
So just let the madness come |
|
There's something in the way she moves |
|
That just terrorizes you |
|
You try to piece confusing clues |
|
Together in your head |
|
I see you there, shining like a beacon |
|
Fabric tears, my love burns for you |
|
The end of me is in there with you right now |
|
Car engine, still too hot to touch |
|
You're married to her in your mind |
|
And she loves you like a son |
|
Yearning for a place in time |
|
And a home to call your own |
|
It smashed into you hard enough |
|
That you will not soon forget |
|
He wants her like a sword and shield |
|
And he wants her here and now |
|
I see you there, you are my only empire |
|
I call your name but it becomes the wind |
|
A sudden lurch, a quickening of footfalls |
|
A bible held above me like an axe |
