Death Of Me

When you came along
When you
Came along
When more than evermore...
And death is out

I took the knife
I took the knife & right here
Wrote a cross upon my heart

It seems like you
Held the ash
‘til it caught upon the wind
It came forth
Like a curse
From the colder hand of things...

When you came along
When you
Came along
See, I believed in
Fate and fortune...

I took the rope
I took the rope & right here
Yielded like a bird in hand...

And fearful lost to the hours
Where I can’t recall the thing
And if tears wet my eyes
On a sacramental stain

Another whisper comes before the sigh
Before the lowered eye
You’ll be the death of me

I took the match
I took the match
And here set
My intentions into light...

And violins swing—
To the spark of the chorus crushing in
And when our flame dies
How will I gain to make a wish?

Another whisper comes before the sigh
Before the lowered eye

You’ll be the death of me
You’ll be the death of me
You’ll be the death of me...
