Tenderly - Houses

Well I want

Somebody to hold me while I die

A prayer to keep the peace I hold inside

A potter’s field with rose petals strewn at our feet

And to beat the blessed Earth with our heart beats

So be still when the darkness closes in

And tremble when the winds lay waste again

Clinging to the dust that stalks the wind

And laying in the dark with our eyes open

And we’ll go to sleep again

And our hearts will collide

Well I want

To be there when the shadow bares its skin

To hold you in the Earth’s unholy din

While thunder crash and lightning cross the night

And bathe our hallowed eyes in the moonlight

So be still when the silence passes through

And tremble when it pulls me far from you

I’m clinging to your breath that touched the wind

Naked in the dark with our eyes open

And we’ll go to sleep again

And our hearts will collide
