The Great Mother's Slumber

Come on, come on, don't leave me like this
I thought I had you figured out
Something's gone terribly wrong
You're all I wanted
Come on, come on, don't leave me like this
I thought I had you figured out
Can't breathe whenever you're gone
Can't turn back now, I'm haunted

Secrets I have held in my heart
Are harder to hide than I thought
Maybe I just wanna be yours

"I'm a warrior now. And that means... It means I can choose a woman."

"You know he stares at you when you look away?"
"Shut up... Does he?"

And although I can't recall your face
I still got love for you
Your braids like a pattern
Love you to the moon and to Saturn
Passed down like folk songs
This love lasts so long

"You will find someone to fill that void. I promise."

Time won't fly, I'm paralysed by it
I'd like to be my old self,
but I'm still trying to find it

And I'd give up forever to touch you'Cause I know that you feel me somehow You're the closest to heaven that I'll ever beAnd I don't want to go home right nowAll I can taste is this moment All I can breathe is your lifeAnd sooner or later it's ove...

And I'd give up forever to touch you
'Cause I know that you feel me somehow
You're the closest to heaven that I'll ever be
And I don't want to go home right now
All I can taste is this moment
All I can breathe is your life
And sooner or later it's over
I just don't want to miss you tonight
And I don't want the world to see me
'Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's made to be broken,
I just want you to know who I am

"It's so strange, deciding how I feel about you."

"Fourteen years," he said
"I couldn't look into the sun
She saw him laying at the end of my gun"
Hungry for life
And thirsty for the distant river
I remember his hands
And the way the mountains looked
The light shot diamonds from his eyes
