What if you listen
To the shimmer and glisten
Of water
In a tear on her face
In crystal clear grace
A quiver
She's so holding tight
So strapped to the ground
She's got all she lost
And oh, lost all she found
Words she'd write
On the wings of a kite
Have faded
Her plans stillborn
Her thoughts misplaced
She's jaded
She's so holding tight
So strapped to the ground
She's got all she lost
And oh, lost all she found
I am
The angel and the shame
The moth into the flame
Light up my life
Light up my life
She's black and blue
But her colours are true
She's naked
She's so holding tight
So strapped to the ground
She's got all she lost
And oh, lost all she found
I am
The angel and the shame
The moth into the flame
Light up my life
Light up my life
What if what's missing
Is just two gentle lips kissing
And saying: "You're dreaming"
To the shimmer and glisten
Of water
In a tear on her face
In crystal clear grace
A quiver
She's so holding tight
So strapped to the ground
She's got all she lost
And oh, lost all she found
Words she'd write
On the wings of a kite
Have faded
Her plans stillborn
Her thoughts misplaced
She's jaded
She's so holding tight
So strapped to the ground
She's got all she lost
And oh, lost all she found
I am
The angel and the shame
The moth into the flame
Light up my life
Light up my life
She's black and blue
But her colours are true
She's naked
She's so holding tight
So strapped to the ground
She's got all she lost
And oh, lost all she found
I am
The angel and the shame
The moth into the flame
Light up my life
Light up my life
What if what's missing
Is just two gentle lips kissing
And saying: "You're dreaming"
