lyrics

Its a child that you hold in your arms
Stroke my hair, whisper to me
Keep me safe from harm

I'm the dew that runs across the branch and waits
Such is the perilous journey
Of my hand across your face

Is it wrong to play in ruins
Of shelled and blackened lands?
Do I run too hard, do I frighten you
With my eager, groping hands?
In my eyes you'll see
The years lying down like lambs
Touch my heart and what you feel
Is everything I am

I offer you streets at twilight
The feelings of sparrows silently in flight
I've committed crimes to keep your lips against my eyes
To curl around your body
Through the unflinching night

s it wrong to play in ruins
Of shelled and blackened lands?
Do I run too hard, do I frighten you
With my eager, groping hands?
In my eyes you'll see
The years lying down like lambs
Touch my heart and what you feel
Is everything I am

See the sunflower rise
Follow you across the sky
You just need to recognise
Whats in front of you
All's revealed to you

In my eyes you'll see
The years lying down like lambs
Touch my heart and what you feel
Touch my heart and what you feel
Touch my heart and what you feel
Is everything I am
