Lyrics
She said, "Come again
It's been a long time coming
Since you've been around
My long, lost friend."
And she said, "Take my time
I won't be running
From your precious tears
Tonight."
And she said,
"Haven't you had enough of empty love songs
Come out of the cold, it's safe inside
And I can see through your weakened defenses.
Let me hold you safe inside
My love"
And she said, "Take tears
Cause I've been saving
For a rainy day,
My love."
And she said, "Take my fears
I like the way you isolate and
Neutralize
Your own."
And she said,
"Haven't you had enough of empty lovesongs
Come out of the cold its safe inside
You've gone long enough without my loving
Lock the door, stay the night,
My love."
And she said,
"Take my heart.
You've got my body,
Now take my mind,
My love."
And she said,
"Take my life.
I caste my lot
As your promised wife,
My love."
And she said,
"Haven't you had enough of empty love songs
Come out of the cold, it's safe inside
And I can see through your weakened defenses
So let me hold you safe inside
My love."
