lyrics

My only lovers are the Doctor and the death
The rest of me has lingered before the door
And then strolled out to face the night
Like kisses on red lips I blew away with the cold, dark wind
Some part of me had always wished I could drift away
And disappear from sight
800 dollars in a cookie tin behind the wall
I left it there to remind me of
The dreams I had and the risks I took
And the promises I broke and kept
These words rang true then and still do, my dear

I let you leave too soon my urgent
Cries won’t keep you safe and please just stay
I don’t know what to think anymore
(You once were young, just go, be free)
I cannot leave you I can’t (Just) leave

I dreamt a dream I was flying away and I took your hand and you touched my face
I was loved
I was loved
