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´ll 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
Or 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 will 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 will 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´ll 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
I may watch you go.
There´ll be no value in the strength
Of walls that I´ll 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
Or 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 will 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 will 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´ll 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
