I'm the mother of the night
I'm the mother of the tide
At this moment
Oh please stay
Don't walk away
It's only the body that dies
And you know it's only because of the night-time
At this moment
Watch what you say
Just walk away
And when I walked out to the beach I was aching inside my guts
And when I held out my trembling hand
You just took it in yours and said "trust me"
And when the night is closing in I can almost taste your lust
Said "it's better to be facing up than to die by a thousand cuts"
And you know problems do arise
And we just go on leading our separate lives
Together forever?
At least that's what they say
Just walk away
And when I walked out to the beach I was aching inside my guts
And when I held out my trembling hand
You just took it in yours and said "trust me"
And when the night is closing in I can almost taste your lust
Said "it's better to be facing up than to die by a thousand cuts"
Oh baby! Tell me why
Can't I just fall asleep
I lie
I just lie here, thinking, thinking about it
I'll never, ever get over it
Or so I thought
I'll never, ever get over it
Just gimme some more time
Aw, just gimme some more time
(Just gimme some more time)
Aw, just gimme some more time
(Holy water in my eyes)
Holy water on my mind
(When chlorine gets in my eyes)
The chlorine it just makes me cry
(Salty water in my eyes)
Salty water in my eyes
(Salty water in my eyes)
Salty water in my eyes
(Salty water in my eyes)
It' just water in my eyes
(Salty water in my eyes)
It's only water in my eyes
(Salty water in my eyes)
It's just water in my eyes
(Salty water in my eyes)
Salty water in my eyes
(Salty water in my eyes)
Salty water in my eyes
