well I bled blue blood from my back last night, I was alone
aubergine sheets on my bed now, oh no
and your blue eyes lie just like an atlas in those sockets
yeah your blue eyes cry mapwater when you're sorry
oh so sorry, oh no
you with the nape that holds my gaze
you with the tongue that speaks my name
you with the arms that keep me at length
you with the heart that won't show its face
and jesus sucks the mud out of your soul
but the flame in my eye, it's gone blue and cold
and you risked your wrist to save my life
and I should have kissed you that night, but it ain't right
and absence makes my heart grow hollow
absence makes my heart grow hollow
make me into an egg without yoke
you make me into an egg without yoke
absence makes my heart grow hollow
absence makes my heart grow hollow
make me into an egg without yoke
you make me into an egg without yoke
I was unborn when I was younger
I was unborn when I was younger
but I was rebuilt when you spoke
I awoke when you spoke
Am *
you with the nape that holds my gaze
you with the tongue that speaks my name
you with the arms that keep me at length
you with the heart that won't show its face
