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 trip 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 and waiting for some treat 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 slow Grow persistent too The moment we believe that we have never met Another kind of love, it's easy to forget When we are all alone and waiting for some treat We have a thing in common, this was meant to be That as we shoulder our What is it's name What's your sin Say it again As the ghost pass by Can you still follow me? It must be sane When it's on TV I raise my hands to heaven for curiosity I don't know what to ask for What has it got for me? The eyes see how hideous this marble house can be Somethings I do for money somethings I do for free
