Ain't it useless to fight
Or to pretend
That it'll all come out right in the end
So you wait for me
I who've only time
Yeah you wait for me
Care to ease my mind
Iodine and iron?
And I'm thinking of you
When times are hard
I feel as mad as the moon
And twice as scarred
Yet you wait for me
And you fill my heart
Yeah you wait for me
And you light the dark
Iodine and iron
So don't plead to me now
To be only mine
Love, you're stripping me down
Like turpentine
Still you wait for me
Then you leave no trace
Yeah you wait for me
Soon I'll be erased
With iodine and iron
Iodine and iron
Iodine and iron
