You caught me one evening as I was just leaving
And tore out half my heart.
The blood in the snow showed me where I must go
To retrieve the missing part.
At times I regret that I followed you,
Still, I’m content to toast by your fire
And the touch of your bare foot caressing my back
Helps remind me the one thing that you’ll never lack
Is desire.
And when you grew restless, I told you to “Stay!”
In that voice I’d just acquired
But a friend did a bad turn, and you came to learn
How my instincts are hardwired
You chewed off my head and declared me dead
But by then you were captured too.
Now you’ll have to unlearn all those lessons of love
All the craft of the claw in the thin velvet glove
That you taught.
I can feel your heart slowing now
I can feel your heart beating slower
I can feel your heart slowing now
And your long, tangled hair
Seems to cling to my fingers and fasten them there
Don’t mind me, just adoring you
Just adoring your
Wolfskin boots.
The winter feels warmer when we are together
It’s not so hard to bear
But we both crave a cold wind to slice through this stupor
And fresh smells in the air.
Our love is a rope that you’re whirling
Your heart is the center around which I spin.
If either of us could decide to let go
Would I fly off and free you, or would I fall
Straight back in?
I need you, and I need you now
And I need you here
And I need you like a well-hung man
Needs a noose to hang well from.
But one day I suspect you will fall out of love
Like a burning aeroplane
With some special effect proving that to select
Me to love you was insane.
Till then we’re rehearsing our paces, reversing
The dance for a change every day.
And a new sign outside on the theatre boards
Says “Two lovers are at it like knives, guns and swords
Just for play.”
I can feel your heart slowing now
I can feel your heart beating slower
I can feel your heart slowing now
And your long, tangled hair
Seems to cling to my fingers and fasten them there
Don’t mind me, just adoring you, just adoring you
Don’t mind me, just adoring you, just adoring you
Don’t mind me, just adoring you
Just adoring your
Wolfskin boots.
