Some Mandalay

..to stay, oh no
You had to go
spoil it all.
I know you had to go.
Now I find these endlessly
colourblind days
to fill.
…You never will

Take this life
Take this life,
take it all
in your hands.
You were mine,
I could smile
You understand, fine
again

I dream;
You come to me,
Come back to me
and comfort me.
Now I dream.

Where did this time go?
Where did this time go?
Did your love go?

I know,
you had to go
spoil it all,
and now I know.
You never will.

Take this life
Take this life,
take it all
in your hands.
You were mine,
I could smile
You understand, fine

Take this life
Take this life,
take it all
in your hands.
You were mine,
I could smile
You understand, fine
again

Just what you said was cold advice
I discovered sticks go with knives
I discovered I could’ve died in your chains
Still I feel, so won’t you stay
Oh, babe

Take this life
Take this life,
take it all
in your hands.
You were mine,
I could smile
You understand, fine

Take this life
Take this life,
take it all
in your hands.
You were mine,
I could smile
again.

Mandalay – This Life

===============================================

Come
Like a baby to the breast
Every inch of you to test my skin

You
Deepen cracks and pour in more
Still standing at the door in tears

And I feel
And do you feel
Enough love

Or do you feel
Or do you feel
Enough love is too rare

Still
Leaving me untied in hands

That you tied and locked away alive

Here
I can’t stand another scene

Can’t face another day
In here

And I feel
And do you feel
Enough love

Or do you feel
Or do you feel
Enough love is too rare

Do I feel
Do you feel
Enough love

Or do you feel
Or do you feel
Enough love is too rare

You could weather me if I turned to stone
If I turned to stone something like a statue
You could keep me hidden in your garden
Then no-one need ever know

And I feel
And do you feel

Enough love

Or do you feel
Or do you feel
Enough love is too rare

Do I feel
Do you feel
Enough love

Or do you feel
Or do you feel
Enough love is too rare

===============================================

Mandalay – Enough Love
