And in the middle of the night I may watch you go There´ll be no value in the strength Of walls that I have grown There´ll be no comfort in the shade
Of the shadows thrown But I´d be yours if you´d be mine
Stretch out my life And pick the seams out Take what you like But close my ears and eyes Watch me stumble over and over
I had done wrong You build your tower But call me home And I will build a throne And wash my eyes out never again
But love the one you hold And I´ll be your goal To have and to hold
A lover of the light
With skin too tight And eyes like marbles You spin me high So watch me as I glide Before I tumble homeward, homeward
I know I tried I was not stable And flawed by pride I miss my sanguine eyes So hold my hands up — breathe in and breathe out
So love the one you hold And I´ll be your goal To have and to hold
A lover of the light
And in the middle of the night I may watch you go There´ll be no value in the strength Of walls that I have grown There´ll be no comfort in the shade Of the shadows thrown You may not trust the promises Of the change I´ll show But I´d be yours if you´d be mine
So love the one you hold And I´ll be your goal To have and to hold A lover of the light
So love the one you hold
And I will be your goal To have and to hold A lover of the light
