lyrics

I saw you behind her trying hard not to look at her letter, well we all feign disinterest when matters seem out of our reach. The actress, she spied you with coal-black round eyes that she wore as dark diamonds for her nonchalant smile, and you defenestrated your gaze before it could be seen.

Hold me down, lover. oh hold me down now, the shadows are coming to carry us out in the rain.

They found me on the hillside as skin and bone, I had lain there awaiting a price to be sold at, as damp was advancing the length of my servant girl sleeves. Now when you look I turn my face away, see I was only a prisoner of the portraits they paint. I pulled back the curtain to pry us together again.

Hold me down lover, oh hold me down now, there's a roar rising through me that needs to come out but I don't think that I'll ever summon the courage to scream. Hold me down, lover. oh hold me down now, the shadows are coming to carry us out in the rain.

Hush now, they're coming! They're carrying torches, my love! Hush now, they're coming! They're carrying torches, my love!

And if the flames dance round my face in this night please don't stand there blackened, please just stand aside to collect my full heart from the ashes when passions subside.

Hold me down lover, oh hold me down now, I've risen in silence to pull their flags out and I've bled out my colours for every cause that they named. Hold me down lover, oh hold me down now all these helium dreams are delusions of grandeur, it's not meant to be that we'll ever come round from our pain. Hold me down, lover, oh hold me down now, the shadows are coming to carry us out in the rain
