Lyrics

Daphne

12, 11, 10, 9 And so, in my house I've built a shrine 8, 7, 6, 5 But I have dreamt he's still alive 4, 3, 2, 1 In the lands of light his voice is sung Row row row row The time is right for us to go Bloom the night in all her darkness Daphne froze in her white night gown Cotton be around your body The sea is calling me down The sea is calling me down Bloom the night in all her darkness Daphne froze on the glass abyss Years of tears had salt her body And she cried nevermore And she cried nevermore 1, 2, 3, 4 For you, my love, I'll wait no more 5, 6, 7, 8 Lay your kisses to rest at the garden gates 9, 10, 11, 12 Because I've got to save myself Row row row row The time is right for you to go
