about
The second single from Dancing in Death/The Place Where the River Makes a Sound
lyrics
The sun came up today behind the eastern spire
There's not much I can say that won't make me a liar
Our plans, they went astray at the first sign of a fire
Love and rockets in the fray, and a burning desire
A fire in the sky, a teapot in your hand
Instead of asking why, oh please, just understand
There's a knot to be untied and we're hanging from a strand
It doesn't matter if you lied so come on and take my hand
Now we're all the same, there are no stakes to be raised
If you'll just be on time
If you can't say my name without writhing in pain
Well the girl in the window, she loves me just the same
Once, I sang a song, once, they came with guns
Oh how I long to see you having fun
Maybe I was wrong to think that I'm the only one
We're here where we belong, all high and low and none
Now we're all the same, there are no stakes to be raised
If you'll just be mine
If you can't say my name without writhing in pain
Well the girl in the window, she loves me just the same
