Master

Master don't sleep anymore

Little shade on the broken floor

Thread of dark on his ragged heart

Where I held him before

Once he was king of the thieves

Killer's smile and a rose in his teeth

And Mamma

No vision governed me

Now in his eyes I see no pain

Little hope was left and when that sickness came

In the road with a trembling frame

Was a shape I had known

And it was foolish to pray

But I undressed by the light of his phone

And I knelt in the dust

And confessed that I could not go on

Oh!

There's a woman in the road

She's lost like a leper in a street off Saville Row

Oh!

There are voices in my home

What they said I just don't know

Lowered eyes and hands I long to hold

Oh lord the shadow he made

Sick heart formed in a figure of hate

And all that I knew was that heavenly weight

Laying low in the dark

He bared his throat by the river plains

Told me those were not stars those were lights from the cranes

But I wished on them all the same

And bled into his arms

And leaning in close,

He said I love you the most but I've still gotta go

And mamma

I done fell in love

With a dead boy I know

Oh!

There's a woman in the road

She's lost like a leper in a street off Saville Row

Oh!

There are voices in my home

What they said I just don't know

Lowered eyes and hands I long now to hold

So come now to speak his name

And see this life is a violent game

Telling me all of the reasons she came back for you

For I will rise up like the sea

I will rise up like the sea

Still I recall you were talking so brave and so true

Just like you used to
