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 built 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 gold
to have and to hold
a lover of the light
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 gold
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 gold
to have and to hold
a lover of the light
So love the one you hold
and I will be your gold
to have and to hold
a lover of the light
