Lyrics


Always

The well is dry and the stream runs shallow

And the sun is high and the field lies fallow

My tongue is tied and my body aching

Now I'm open wide and afraid of breaking


The food is hot and the table's ready

But my stomach's knots make my hands unsteady

So I take to pacing up and down the room

While my heart keeps racing and my mind's consumed


I just want to be part of the light of the light of the light of the light of the light in your eyes

I just want to be part of the light of the light of the light of the light of the light in your eyes


The bed is made and the candles burning

All our games are played and the clock keeps turning

We're out of tricks with the silence cutting

And the daggers stick as the doors keep shutting


I just want to be part of the fight of the fight of the fight of the fight of the fight in your eyes

I just want to be part of the fight of the fight of the fight of the fight of the fight in your eyes


Always

Always, forever
