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 window sill
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, 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, 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, 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, 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, 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, let's kiss like we used to
