Lyrics
Anything you want she says
Anything at all
Anything you want she says
Anything at all
Yeah Yeah
She comes to him with open arms
With the blind faith of a child
The clock a tool that serves to bind
He knows it?s only for a while
She?s wears a gown of innocence.
Something she?ll soon outgrow?
She lets the candles burn all night
The silence keeps him wide-awake
Her hair lays strewn across the sheets
His mind is a million miles away
The candle screams for one last breath
In time for her to go?
