lyrics

At night I’ll be wrapped nice
In these small hours
Would you share?

If I were hidden would you seek
And down this vision light
Won’t follow me there?

Tender is the hand that holds the water down
And loving is the arrow wounding me
I never want to hurt in anyway you won’t deserve
And I was stranded in my ocean family

Would you love anyone, anyone but me?
——Did you really think I’d let you ?
Would you love anyone, anyone but me?
——You’re only made of memories
Would you love anyone, anyone but me?
——In emptiness are we both waiting?
Would you love anyone, anyone but me?
——O my son is leaving me

Come to midnight
Call to the sun
Nightshade and colours
And another smoking gun

If I were hunting
Would you be caught?
Tell me how my every efforts overwrought

Tender is the hand that holds the water down
And loving is the arrow wounding me
I never want to hurt in any way you won’t deserve
And I was stranded in my ocean family

Would you love anyone, anyone but me?
——Did you really think I’d let you ?
Would you love anyone, anyone but me?
——You’re only made of memories
Would you love anyone, anyone but me?
——In emptiness are we both waiting?
Would you love anyone, anyone but me?
——O my son is leaving me
