Lyrics

We're Away

The headlines drip with horror Beware, beware, beware! The news says no tomorrow But how can I be scared... ...In her arms? World do your worst She and I have closed our eyes And lifted every curse We're away In-caving concrete military light Is merely rain against the glass For lovers in the night
