close encounters

bat for lashes

some say my lover is a pale green light

he hovers high where the moon shines bright

i feel him come to me in the dead of night

and i go to the other side

and when he lovingly takes my hand

pulls me close to a windswept land

i can't make anybody else understand

how i go to the other side

you know that i'll love you till the stars don't shine

you know that you'll always fill this heart of mine

and i could never forget with time

all our close encounters

all our close encounters

and on the other side

he's all around

he is a starry beam that lays me down

and we become a dream of time and sound

when i go to the other side

you know that i'll love you till the stars don't shine

you know that you'll always fill this heart of mine

and i could never forget with time
