You almost turned inside out Found you down by the boats Fell asleep in my arms Under northern lights that danced like ghosts If you can't contain yourself, my dear Just try, just try, your time is near Like the summer's last day A coming chill in the air Before the leaves turn to fire As the sunlight plays in your hair It seems like a thousand years
Since you last stayed the night But something's changed inside you now You're not afraid to come back and fight When you can't contain yourself, my dear Just try, just try, I'll hold you near You can't contain yourself this time Betrayed by something so sublime I love your need Your joy in grief You bring relief To me
