Guy Garvey - Newborn lyrics

I'll be the corpse in your bathtub Useless I'll be as deaf as a post If you hold me like a newborn Whisper what you feel My badly strung declaration To You You'll spend the end of your days Gently smiling like a newborn Love not by degrees Press your lips To my eyes Taste my tears On your tongue Pull the blinds Play our song Nothings changed Nothing could be wrong Scream in the night Kick and skrike Like a newborn Holding me shaking Awake in the dark All of these promises Kept and unbroken Tracing the scars Tracing the scars Even and cold As we both become older Your arms bound about me The hush in your voice The warmth of your fingers Entwined around mine In the eve of our lives Never a choice
