maybe it was that the feelings in between our bodies weren't pulling us together anymore
maybe it's that i am blind when it comes to you
maybe the lines of our lips turned into a shape that didn't fit with each other any longer
maybe your hands were too small and mine were too big
and the lines of them didn't want to make love anymore
maybe our scents didn't combine to make the summer aroma they once did
and that look in your eyes faded
maybe it was because you disappeared
maybe it was because i erased you from my memory
because you still haunt me in my dreams
PJ Harvey- The Desperate Kingdom Of Love
oh love, you were a sickly child
and how the wind knocked you down
put on your spurs, swagger around
in the desperate kingdom of love
holy water cannot help you now
your mysterious eyes will not help you
selling your reason will not bring you through
the desperate kingdom of love
there’s another who looks from behind your eyes
i learn from you how to hide
from the desperate kingdom of love
at the end of this burning world
you’ll stand proud, face upheld
and i’ll follow you, into heaven or hell
and i’ll become, as a girl
in the desperate kingdom of love
