Through windows by my bed
|
Miles away I rest my weary head
|
Next to you
|
No coldness in my eye
|
Cut the skin and take my sorry hide
|
Cover you
|
Make love with you
|
It bleeds upon my back
|
Strapped with silver tacks
|
Wish I'd loved you more
|
And never shut that door
|
The waves that run the shore
|
Wash away the stones of pain we bore
|
I tortured you
|
I tried to drown my hate
|
Underneath an ocean I still wait
|
Remembering you, always true
|
It bleeds upon my back
|
Strapped with silver tacks
|
Wish I'd loved you more
|
And never shut that door
|
Restitution day
|
All I have I give away
|
To be with you
|
If it breaks my back
|
Through windows by my bed
|
Miles away I rest my weary head
|
Next to you
|
No coldness in my eye
|
Cut the skin and take my sorry hide
|
Cover you
|
Make love with you
|
It bleeds upon my back
|
Strapped with silver tacks
|
Wish I'd loved you more
|
And never shut that door
|
Restitution day
|
All I have I give away
|
To be with you
|
If it breaks my back
|

Breaks My Back
