Poison
Coming into London, twilight blueSix stops left on the main lineCatch as catch can a chance to standAnd so I take mineWith trust like a turtle I leave my pagesPiled up neatly beside youJust in time to see the deep wind blowJust in time to know that you meant it tooI drank the poisonStraight from the warmth of the palm of your handAnd like ice in the morningThere's nothing much left here to hold or to haveIn the endNothing like a sister to break your heartNothing like a spider to drain itNothing like a smile and a brand new startTo make you think you can change itI drank the poisonStraight from the warmth of the palm of your handAnd like ice in the morningThere's nothing much left here to hold or to haveIn the endSongtexteI know she knows what I do bestShe knows I know where she's lostI know she knows what I do bestShe knows I know that she knowsThat I'll drink the poisonStraight from the warmth of the palm of her handAnd like ice in the morningThere's nothing much left here to hold or to haveIn the endI drank the poisonStraight from the warmth of the palm of her handAnd like ice in the morningThere's nothing much left here to hold or to haveIn the end Aus Songtexte Mania
