You took a girl like me
________________________________________________________________________________
VERSE 1
Hot skin in the night in the hour when the animals are born
crimes of passion are committed
take me to the morning light take me to your leader
VERSE 2
You are my heart you are my only heart
but this cold air is killing me
and as we make love the silence the silence
trying to find the thread of a failed romance
VERSE 3
I strain my face towards the sky, you put your hand
over my mouth oh take me,
take me to the frozen North, skating, falling falling down down down
into icy water
BRIDGE
I'll be what you want me to be to bring you to your knees
your lover, your daughter, we move in slow motion
falling down down down into icy water you took a girl like me
VERSE 4
I might never leave this room again
shut myself inside the old photographs
faded light of a young girl,
patterns, shadows on the walls, painted ladies
They look a lot like me
