Found you in a dark place
My little ghost
Bright eyes and a soft face
As you approached
I swore in the twilight
I'd keep you safe
Said I'd be your nightlight
When you're afraid

I said
You're my Tamberlane
We're caught in a moment I can't explain
I said
You're my Tamberlane
You won't be abandoned, not again
Not again

They don't understand you
It can't be helped
I know how it feels to
Want to blame yourself
But love is a slow tide
The waves will come
Your smile is so bright
You'll guide us home

Don't you know
You're my Tamberlane
They think we're so different
But we're the same
I know
You're my Tamberlane
You won't be abandoned, not again
Not again
We may not look alike
But I can feel your heartbeat in your chest
It's just like mine
We may not feel alike
But I can feel the love that you possess
It's just like mine
We may not seem alike
But I can feel the hope that gives you rest
It's just like mine
We may not sound alike
But I can feel the life in every breath
It's just like mine

That's why
You're my Tamberlane
My darling, whenever
You're lost in the rain
Remember
You're my Tamberlane
You won't be abandoned, not again
Not again
