and in the middle of the night i may watch you go
there'll be no value
in the strength of walls that i have grown
there'll be no comfort
in the shade of the shadows thrown
but i'd be yours if you'd be mine
stretch out my life
and pick the seams out
take what you like
but close my ears and eyes watch me stumble
over and over
i have done wrong
you build your tower
but call me home
and i will build a throne
and wash my eyes out never again
but love the one you hold
and i'll be your goal
to have and to hold
the lover of the light
with skin too tight
and eyes like marbles
you spin me high
so watch me as i glide before i tumble
homeward homeward
i know i've tried
i was not stable and flawed by pride
i miss my sanguine eyes
so hold my hands up
breathe in and breathe out
so love the one you hold
and i'll be your goal
to have and to hold
a lover of the light
and in the middle of the night i may watch you go
there'll be no value
in the strength of walls that i have grown
there'll be no comfort
in the shade of the shadows thrown
you may not trust the promises of the change i'll show
but i'd be yours if you'd be mine
so love the one you hold
and i will be your goal
to have and to hold
a lover of the light
so love the one you hold
and i will be your gold
to have and to hold
a lover of the light
