lyrics

THE STORY (THAT WAS TOO LATE TO BEGIN)

She was born of blood and restless unease
Had dragged whole kingdoms to their knees
Found a place to rest, for her sanity
Never did let go the empty core

He was sure he loved her when they met
Black hair, the language, all the rest
Wounded eyes had always been his best bet
For someone who might tolerate his sins

Whispered words
Cling to me
Show me that your   
Love is strong

Next day's sun she was gone
Sometimes an ending's etched in stone
He for her, she for him
The story that was too late to begin

Whispered words
Cling to me
Show me that your 
Love is strong
Whispered words
Cling to me
Better choose
Whose side you're on
Whispered words
Cling to me
Show me that your 
Love is strong
