Lyrics
Now I face you, I wanna give you my life
The winds embrace you like black sands in the night
The seas embrace you, I can't remember your name
And fingers sink into the memories of the thick sublime
The light is fading from me, I may have had my day
There's nothing left above me but your sodden rocks and clay
A night is all it took me to know that you would stay
The daylight takes you from me, this is, this is why I say
Come on and let me strip you down
Right down to the milk and honey
Come on, though you may not love me
Nothing you can do is wrong
The summer came through and touched the black of my glove
I sat beside you while you, while you all made love
The flames above you shine like cathedral spires
Arise and show you all where, where the ice melts are
The light is fading from me, I may have had my day
There's nothing left above me but your sodden rocks and clay
A night is all it took me to know that you would stay
The daylight takes you from me, this is, this is why I say
Come on and let me strip you down
Right down to the milk and honey
Come on, though you may not love me
Nothing you can do is wrong
