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

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
