lyrics

Oh, young love, young life
Tell me why
You cry for the light
I only know
You’re perfect sight
For dark, weary
Eyes like mine, like mine

Would you sing for me, my dear
With a voice that’s dolled up with lace so sheer

Take my hands
And fold them
Into your heart
Oh, darlin’
oh, I love you
Like I love
The war, on light

Oh, young days, young nights
Tying my
Legs to yours, ‘til I
Know nothing
But, your breath on mine
Oh but you’ll
Never, take my eyes

From the dark that eats away, from what is clean
oh It fills me up, with cracks too, big for you my queen

Take my hands
And fold them
Into your heart
Oh, darlin’
oh I love you
Like I love
The war, on light

Oh, old skin, old bones
Cut up from memories I’ve known
From a life that seemed pre-set, long ago
To end up young, and laid beneath the stones

Like the ones that came before me
Who fell before the storm, that drove them to cry and plead

To take our hands, and fold them
Into your heart, oh, darling
oh I love you
Like I love
The war, on light
I love you
Like I love
The war, on light
