the time has come to speak of many things
|
of jacks and queens and kings
|
|
i bared my wrists and promised to begin
|
but you cut the blade straight in
|
|
try hard my love do you hear the distant strings
|
please remember what this means
|
|
did i come back for all of this?
|
it seems absurd somehow...
|
with one well-placed flick of the wrist
|
you've really done it now...
|
|
(all of my blind ambition left me deaf with perfect vision)
|
|
the time has come
|
for TIES to come undone
|
that we should not have begun
|
|
at last i felt a numbness overcome
|
and now you turn and run...
|
|
the time has come
|
to take me in your arms and touch these fragile scars
|
|
you have the choice now so decide
|
if you want in or out
|
there is too much left for us to try
|
you cant just give up now
|
|
the time has come
|
to speak of many things
|
of jacks and queens and kings
|
|
it took that cut to bring me back to life
|
theyre bleeding, theyre frightened but i hold out both my hands:
|
no one in the world will ever touch me there again.
