Marble House

The Knife

I cut your nails and comb your hair 
I carry you down the stairs 
I wanted to see right through from the other side 
I wanted to walk a trail with no end in sight 

The moment we believe that we have never met 
Another kind of love it's easy to forget 
When we are all alone then we do both agree 
We have a thing in common this was meant to be 

You close my eyes and soothe my ears 
You heal my wounds and dry my tears 
On the inside of this marble house I grow 
And the seeds I sow will grow up prisoners too 

The moment we believe that we have never met 
Another kind of love it's easy to forget 
When we are all alone then we do both agree 
We have a thing in common this was meant to be 

Now where's your shoulder 
What is it's name 
What's your scent 
Say it again 
If it goes faster can you still follow me 
It must be safe when it's on TV 

I raise my hands to heaven of curiosity 
I don't know what to ask for 
What has it got for me? 
The others say we're hiding 
It's as forward as can be 
Some things I do for money 
Some things I do for free
