Aubergine

Well I bled blue blood from my back last night, I was alone

Aubergine sheets on my bed now, oh no

And your blue eyes lie

Just like an atlas in those sockets

Yeah your blue eyes cry mapwater

When you're sorry, oh so sorry

Oh no

You with the nape that holds my gaze

You with the tongue that speaks my name

You with the arms that keep me at length

You with the heart that won't show its face

And Jesus sucks the mud out of your soul

But the flame in my eye, it's gone blue and cold

And you risked your wrist to save my life

And I should have kissed you that night

But it ain't right, oh no

Absence makes my heart grow hollow

Absence makes my heart grow hollow

Make me into an egg without yolk

You make me into an egg without yolk

Absence makes my heart grow hollow

Absence makes my heart grow hollow

Make me into an egg without yolk

You make me into an egg without yolk

I was unborn when I was younger

I was unborn when I was younger

But I was rebuilt when you spoke

I awoke when you spoke

You said, "there's always a reason for leaving

There's always a reason to stay

I know exactly why I'm leaving

I just can't stay

And I say,

"I'll give you my whole summer when you unfurl your fingers

I would be lying if I said you had nothing to do with me

You're to blame for my being this way, way"

You with the nape that holds my gaze

You with the tongue that speaks my name

You with the arms that keep me at length

You with the heart that won't show its face
