lyrics

I feel your body shake
my love, what’s haunting you?

no matter what you did
don’t let it torment you

you shiver as you speak
say anything, it’s only you and me

in our ordinary room
of our ordinary place
both fighting our own way
against the gloom

release your thoughts of dread
and accept a little grace
and soon there’ll be no trace
of the waking world

you see I’m just the same
ashamed of my mistakes

they’re buried but not gone, never gone
they’ll rise again like spirits from the grave

in our ordinary room
of our ordinary place
I’m trying to allay
your sense of doom

come close and rest your head
strip off your silk and lace
we’ll turn our backs upon the face
of the waking world

so throw your burden down
let your tensions unwind
just try to focus on the sound of my voice

I’m forgiving you
and I promise I’ll still keep you warm and safe

so let’s join again as one
till exhaustion carries both of us away

from our ordinary room
of our ordinary place
as we’re locked in our embrace
pure as infants from the womb

bodies strewn across the bed
souls drawn up into space
we’ve made good our escape
from the waking world
