lyrics

Home for lovers

From this distance see the past
Loveless, no family, and just seventeen
Take me from this empty castle
Come with me and be my queen

Finds a soul, not meant to last
Warmth in the movements but barren and mean
Let me keep my growing passion
Nothing else should come between

New life comes and ever more
Washes and works and bears children and cleans
Don’t think you can write my story
Words unspoken, thoughts unseen

Powers change, he’s on the floor
Weathers the blows that frustrations maintain
Kneel to me and see the glory
Change the stations we have been

New love comes from years of waiting
Chained to a family and no longer free
Can’t tell you my heart is breaking
That no longer speaks to me

Living moves at her insistence
Bondage demotes him, his family tree
Can’t trust you with my existence
Stay together separately

Hungry for the love she tasted
Resigned to the smouldering anger and sees
Can’t re-live the years we wasted
Stamped the paths to what will be

Final chapter, ending hovers
Function like others so others can see
Close the door to home for lovers
Loveless in eternity
