"God has given me grace..." you said
"...there are debts to be paid"
As we circled the bay:
"They're so... insignificant."
With a smile on his face:
"I swear, now you're safe from harm."
And he lifted his arm so slow
We braved the cold
I heard them scream, and I didn't breathe a word
Blankets or bruises surround you in your sleep tonight
They will never adore you but they can't ignore you tonight
I left the island behind that night
But the look in his eyes when he stole paradise I know is keeping me close
Down we fell in twos and threes
The ones I've known, they cover over me
I heard them scream...
(Try to keep my frame beneath, oh keep me still, oh keep me company)
...and I didn't breathe a word
Blankets or bruises surround you in your sleep tonight
They will never adore you but they can't ignore you tonight
