lover of the light

and in the middle of the night

i may watch you go

there'll be no value in the strength

of walls that i have grown

there'll be no comfort in the shade

of the shadows thrown

but i'd be yours if you'd be mine

stretch out my life

and pick the seams out

take what you like

but close my ears and eyes

watch me stumble over and over

i had done wrong

you built your tower

but call me home

and i will build a throne

and wash my eyes out never again

but love the one you hold

and i'll be your gold

to have and to hold

a lover of the light

with skin too tight

and eyes like marbles

you spin me high

so watch me as i glide

before i tumble homeward

homeward

i know i've tried

i was not stable

and flawed by pride

i miss my sanguine eyes

so hold my hands up - breathe in and breathe out

so love the one you hold

and i'll be your gold

to have and to hold

a lover of the light

and in the middle of the night

i may watch you go

there'll be no value in the strength

of walls that i have grown

there'll be no comfort in the shade

of the shadows thrown

you may not trust the promises

of the change i'll show

but i'd be yours if you'd be mine

so love the one you hold

and i'll be your gold

to have and to hold

a lover of the light

so love the one you hold

and i will be your gold

to have and to hold

a lover of the light
