For You I Hold My Breath

I wash his feet with angels' hair

Cry baby boy your cupboards bare

With vapour trails across the sky

Said will you, won't you?

Never be mine

For you I hold my breath

For you I get undressed

The cupboards bare

There's nothing left

You should've known

You should've guessed

A row of pearls beneath your skin

Cry surface tension, I dive in

My darling boy you need to know

Migration claws this tethered soul

For you I hold my breath

For you I get undressed

The cupboards bare

There's nothing left

You should've known

You should've guessed

This broken bird lost in the snow

Migration claws this tethered soul

And no one calls 'cos no one knows

My darling boy, I have to go

For you I hold my breath

For you I get undressed

The cupboards bare

There's nothing left

I stood the time

I stood the test

You should've known

You should've guessed

You should've known

You should've guessed

You should've known

You should've guessed

You should've known

You should've guessed

You should've known

You should've guessed
