Her voice broke, I kissed her throat
While the bones lie, a fever stills
She takes a drag off her cigarette
Oh, as her tears brush my coat
For my home is now a box - guarded by ghosts
Oh, I'm sailing across a sea of souls
Not sure if I'll ever see that shore
Oh, listen to the wind, as it roars, as it roars!
Howlin' fists, pound at your door
Won't you open up, girl, I've waited long enough
To feel your hands against my skin
I beg for you, darlin'
Won't you let me in?
I said let me in, won't you let me in?
Amid the wild and weltered
Yet your love it keeps me warm
As the floor boards tore
Lights flicker through the keyholes
While broken frames of nameless faces toil in the cold
Oh, sweet lover, doused
In her mother's perfume
Just you press your lips upon my face
Oh, I know your taste, I know my place is in your heart, I'm in your heart!
