I was running from
my shadow
By hiding in the dark
The sun it did not warm my
skin
The days were cold
and stark
I built my fortress high
From all that
gleamed in him
The windows daubed with
shielding tint
My daemons locked within,
Oh my daemons were locked
within
But he’s golden
Lighting my way along this ol' railway
And he’s holdin’
A knife to his heart,
threatening to jump cart
Cause he don’t know what
words to say
To keep me from
running away
It’s always, it’s always grey
[With you babe]
There was ardor on the mountain
Where we escaped the
city lights
No shadow 'round to stalk me
down
Until I looked into
his eyes
He held my hand in his
Told me to clear my
mind
His lips, my ear; his truth,
my fear
I wished it were a lie
How I wished it were a lie
But he’s golden
Lighting my way along this ol' railway
And he’s holdin’
A knife to his heart,
threatening to jump cart
Cause he don’t know which lie
to portray
To keep what we have from decay
It’s always, it’s always grey
[With you babe]
His heart glows like
the full moon
Mine scattered in
the stars
He has the flame that sparks my shame
My self-inflicted scar
That ever-present scar
Well my shadow, it was
a vagrant
So I locked my heart
up tight
I christened him a false
totem
Of heartaches
untimely blight
The key is in a locket
That I threw into the sea
The reason why, my alibi
Of love’s brief epitome
Oh love's epitome
But he’s golden
Lighting my way along this ol' railway
And he’s holdin’
A knife to his heart,
threatening to jump cart
Cause he don’t know which
cards to play
To keep all of our chips in this game
It’s always, it’s always grey
[With you babe]
