For you my love, for you my love
For you my love, for you my love
Baracade the doors and stop the heart that you've been holding,
Throw the words you hold so dear from the letter you've been softly folding
When their finished boarding up the house, there'll be nothing left to see
Just a stranger taking his last breath upon the guillotine
And the neighbors they were fighters and they hung the man you killed
And of all the sins that touched your hands your body was fulfilled
Well the wings they sting the borderline words fall softly to the floor
See a womans love can cause a man to show his every flaw
On you my love on you my love
On you my love on you my love
Does your love beat in the soft pace of the morning
And love beats in the slowness of the morning
And will you close your eyes and after all that you see
and let the stranger be
you my love, you my love
For you my love, my love
So baracade the doors and stop the heart that you've been holding
Throw the words you hold so dear, from the letter you've been softly folding
When their finished boarding up the house, there'll be nothing left to see
Just a stranger taking his last breath upon the guillotine
Its you my love Its you my love
Its you my love Its you my love
Does your love beat in the soft glow without warning
And love beats in the slowness of the morning
And will you close your eyes and after all that you see
and let the stranger be, oh will you let the stranger be
