Emma Shapplin

I walk unwillingly
On an unravelled bed
My legs, leaden weights
Tumble into failure

I've lost track of all history
Since I lost your reason
So I tumble from the sidewalk
A lamp, the gutter, the horizon

If you see me in the street
Tarry awhile
Could you know how I rushed
Always
If you see me in the street
Tarry awhile

I enrage no more, it's unnatural
All the hurt we made
Is commonplace, a road already travelled
Why fret.. I'll have no more of it

I have lost all memory
Of before the dark, the abyss
All my paltry past
Removed from you revolves for nothing

If you see me in the street
Tarry awhile
Could you know how I rushed
Always
If you see me in the street
Tarry (if ou see me) awhile

For eternity I've stuffed
My unplanned dreams
Into sorting chambers
If you should see me

If you see me in the street
Tarry awhile
Could you know how I rushed
Always

If you see me in the street
Tarry (if you see me) awhile

All I want is
The end of the film
We could be left for ever
Entwined in delights...
Traitor!

Could motivation return
Just for a while
A day, an hour, a life
Sweetly tinted
Like a candy package.
