The Separated Twin歌词

The Separated Twin

You came by lighting a seasoned road
Somewhere between a lie and a story untold
With the wisdom of a father
The hunger of a son
The beauty of a young boy
And the words of a grown man
And I had nothing there to give you
I was drowning deep
My wish was long gone
And my heart was asleep
And while you turned I've had too many nights to dream
Too many flames to dim and I saw you in him
With the march of a warrior
The blue blood of a king
The short breath of a sailor
And like a separated twin
You were standing there before me
With your effortless speech
Pretending to be harmless
Yet impossible to reach
But this time you knew
That the minute I walk away from you
I'd take it all, I’d take it all
I'd take it all
So here we are unruffled and polite
As I carry you on, into the night
With the affection of a mother
The hollow of a child
The memories of a young girl
Who's innocence has gone wild
And I have everything to give you
A lifetime to forsake
But your heart is asleep
And it's not mine to take
