The Knife

One night you got into my head With the cold bright fear that stroke me dead And your body lay heavy in our bed With those blood stained tears on your chest Our love is never what it was Never bold enough to carry us, In the beginning I wanted you so much Fire then dirt, then dust So love, would you save her Is she everything you bet upon your life? So love, did you need her Is it all because you fell against the knife And now, can you hold her Do you see her in the shadow of the knife So love, have you lost her, Does it turn you up inside? One day, I'll sleep and never wake And they outtake the color from my face This is all a pay for my mistakes, Old things wither then drink So love, would you save her Is she everything you bet upon your life? So love, did you need her Is it all because you fell against the knife And now, can you hold her Do you see her in the shadow of the knife So love, have you lost her, Does it turn you up inside? Will I hold your hand tonight And how I'd hold your hand tonight Did you work so hard to keep her Did you try so hard despite? Was it her cold heart that freed her? Come on home, song, tight So love, would you save her Is she everything you bet upon your life? So love, did you need her Is it all because you fell against the knife? And now, can you hold her Do you see her in the shadow of the knife So love, have you lost her, Does it turn you up inside? Does it turn you up inside?
