He throws a blanket over the sun
|
He closes out everyone
|
While she prays,
|
"Don't let him take me. There must be a better way."
|
|
You will come to me in a dream
|
Rifled of my sorrow or just to ease my pain
|
And let it slay me or let me suffocate
|
|
Oh, why must you leave
|
This lamb you wound remains
|
if only to see your face
|
I pray on my knees
|
|
Oh, why must you leave
|
This lamb you wound remains
|
if only to see your face
|
I've taken everything
|
|
Even the birds could not
|
take the burden of her body's plate
|
No wires held in place
|
Her body just could never mend
|
|
And let it take me
|
Oh, come take me instead
|
|
No love is here
|
No love is here
|
No love is here
|
No love is here
|
No love is here
|
No love is here
|
No love is here
|
No love is here
|
|
Oh, why must you leave?
|
This lamb you wound remains
|
if only to see your face
|
I pray on my knees
|
|
If only to see your face
|
This lamb you wound remains
|
I pray on my knees
|
You've taken everything
|
