White Lies - Unfinished Business

Just give me a second darling 

To clear my head 

Just put down those scissors baby, on this single bed 

The sand in the hourglass is running low 

I came through thunder, the cold wind 

The rain and the snow 

To find you awake by your windowsill 

A sight for sore eyes and a view to kill 

I broke down in horror at you standing there 

The glow from the moon 

Shone through cracks in your hair. 

I shouted with passion, 

"I love you so much" 

But feeling my skin, it was cold to the touch. 

You whispered "where are you?" 

I questioned your doubt 

But soon realised, you were talking to God now 

You've got blood on your hands 

And I know it's mine 

I just need more time 

So get off your low and let's dance like we used to 

But there's a light in the distance 

Waiting for me, I will wait for you 

So get off your low and let's kiss like we used to 

I looked in the mirror 

But something was wrong. 

I saw you behind but my reflection was gone. 

There was smoke in the fireplace 

As white as the snow. 

A voice beckoned gently 

'Now it's time to go' 

A requiem played as you begged for forgiveness 

"Don't touch me!" I screamed 

"I've got unfinished business" 

You've got blood on your hands 

And I know it's mine 

I just need more time 

So get off your low and let's dance like we used to 

But there's a light in the distance 

Waiting for me, I will wait for you 

So get off your low, and let's kiss like we used to
