lyrics

Stay awhile till you surrender
All the ghosts that gather at your door
Call them in, call rain and thunder
Call desire the strangest agony of all

Wrapped up in your great coat,
Will the sun bless this winter’s afternoon?
When I think of you, I see a crocus bud
Braving frost enough to bloom

But you know that he’ll never let you in
So don’t stoke the fire if you can’t bear
The heat against your skin

In sorrow, in sorrow –
Silence spoke
Her tongue was made of crystal
And violet was her throat

Travelling blind to soothe your mind will cost you
Golden hours and worn out feet
All those planes and trains you take to shake his shadow
In the arms of strangers, comfort seek

But you’ll find that he’ll never let you go
Seems he’s the one who’s always leaving
But in the end, he’ll be the one left alone

In sorrow, in sorrow
Resolution spoke,
In one hand held a dagger
And from the other, cut the rope
