lyrics

I turn to the night the road below my feet
round the bend it goes
a catacomb beneath
every stone that lay another aching memory
I'm wincing when I walk
I'm shaking like a leaf
out upon the roof top when the night wind blew
poison down the hatch a shadow round me grew
camera sent a flash
I was blinded I was blue
for the ties that bind my love to you came loose
I'm in a hell I never knew
since I laid my poor head upon the ground by you
on the clover in a cloud of evening dew
I can see your skin painted silver by the moon
oh what I have I done to you
I saw in the dust that swam in the sunlight
the ghost of your face
the tears I gave your eyes
came a cloud of rain to take the day down to die
your ghost went away but the pain stayed the night
now it's you that I run from
it's you that I
love within my bones
I hate within my mind
come to my window but it's a trick of light
or nothing but a humming bird passing by
it seems
I'm in a hell I've never seen
since I laid my poor eyes upon the diamond queen
hair in golden light
quiet eyes of green
every night you come around and terrorize my dreams
oh what have you done to me
so grab yourself a broom and let us start to sweep
sing yourself a tune to make the silence sweet
and if you find an old and forgotten melody
sing it for you and sing it for me
sing it for the night that cannot help to be
sing it for the day that follows hopefully
sing for it's always been a lovely song to sing
I hear it on the wind and mostly everything
I'm in a hell that's come to be
cold upon my skin
upon my back heavy
I let the devil in
I needed company
I wanted something true
I wanted something to believe
what I have I done to you
what have you done to me
