Lie down with me
Let the sun break in
And the sound of the traffic outside
Knock on the window
Calling us to the city
We’ll stay beneath the sheets
Never has a smile made a girl quite so pretty
Bleary eyed you study my face
Morning passes at a languorous pace
Lie down with me
She will give you the world if you pay her the fee
Once she’s tasted your money she won’t leave you be
She will hold you in awe in her delicate hand
With her other palm she will crush you to sand
Take your identity and masquerade it as hers
Write your life to her tune in a twisted verse
She will laugh with you, flirt with you, set you alight
While the people who love her wither and die
She will shower you with gold that burns into ash
Her embrace can bring your walls down with a deafening crash
The whole world thinks she’s happy but it’s an elaborate lie
She can break whole a life with her carless sigh
Damns the wicked and evil with her brave curse
Then leaves the homeless and poor to grow sicker and worse
She touches with a knife and wounds with her words
Promises broken that fly away with the birds
She builds upon love but brings nothing but pain
This wondrous women; this magnificent Britain
Swept up in the familiarity of a love I once knew
a year since our last meet, a welcoming return
In your absence inspiration was lost too
The year brought with it an unfortunate journey
You take me back to the world left behind
But without you knowledge left me to learning
Everything you taught me to see
Had been hidden behind lie laden smoke
My safe home had turned to a house of animosity
Bricks fell without regard for sentiment
Our memories of our months destroyed
Without your peace I exuded anger to vent
My dearest love now your world I again enter
To discover the person you force me to be
Oh my dearest love, my dearest winter.
