The likes of a darkness so deep That God at the start couldn’t bear

You don’t understand, you should never know How easy you are to need

One more sweet boy to be butchered by men

Don’t you ever Tame your demon But always keep ‘em on a leash

Imagine being loved by me

You know you’re bright as the morning As soft as the rain Pretty as a vine As sweet as a grape

You’re shaping the doorway Make your good love known to me Just tell me about your day

I know who I am when I’m alone I’m something else when I see you

When my time comes around Lay me gently in the cold dark earth No grave can hold my body down I’ll crawl home to her

Her eyes look sharp and steady Into the empty parts of me But still my heart is heavy With the hate of some other man’s beliefs

Honey just put your sweet lips on my lips We should just kiss like real people do

If I was born as a blackthorn tree I’d wanna be felled by you, held by you Fuel the pyre of your enemies

There’s no sweeter innocence than our gentle sin

My life was a storm Since I was born How could I fear any hurricane?

I’d be the voice that urged Orpheus When her body was found (Hey, yeah) I’d be the choiceless hope in grief That drove him underground (Hey, yeah)

I’ve got some colour back, she thinks so, too I laugh like me again, she laughs like you

There’s something tragic about you Something so magic about you

We’ll float away, but if we fall I only pray, don’t fall away from me

She moved with shameless wonder The perfect creature rarely seen

Rare is the love, keep it covered I need you to run to me, run to me, lover

Each day, you’d rise with me Know that I would gladly be The Icarus to your certainty

If there was anyone to ever get through this life With their heart still intact, they didn’t do it right

If the Lord don’t forgive me I’d still have my baby and my babe would have me

Sweet and right and merciful, I’m all but washed In the tide of her breathing

The harder the rain, honey, the sweeter the sun

When I first saw you, the end was soon
