When you come across the sea Me like a beacon guiding you to safety The sooner the better now And when you come the hills Will breathe like a baby Pulled up heaving from the bottom of the ocean The sooner the better now When you come to cover me with your kisses Fresh like a daisy chained up in a lion's den I'll know you by the thunderclap Pouring like a rain of blood to my emotions And that is why I stumble to my knees And why underneath the heavens With the stars burning and exploding I know I could never let you down When you come like an iceberg float in darkness Smashing my hull sne me to the bottom of the sea I should know you better now When you come your majesty to entrap me Prince of light receding The sooner the better now And when you come to cover me With your kisses hard like armour The sooner the better now I'll know you by the thunderclap Pouring like a rain of blood to my emotions And that is why I stumble to my knees And why underneath the heavens With the stars burning and exploding I know I could never let you down She came out of the water Into my horizon Like a cumulo nimbus Coming in from a distance Burning and exploding Burning and exploding Like a slow volcano When you come Cover the ground with ashes When you come
