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
