Regina Spektor - The Sword & The Pen lyrics

rate me

<BR>

Don't let me get out of this kiss<br>

Don't let me say what I say<br>

The things that scare us today<br>

what if they happen someday<br>

Don't let me out of your arms<br>

For now<br>

<br>

What if the sword kills the pen<br>

What if the god kills the man<br>

And if he does it with love<br>

Well then it's death from above<br>

And death from above is still a death<br>

<br>

I don't want to live without you<br>

I don't want to live without you<br>

I don't want to live<br>

I don't want to live<br>

Without you<br>

<br>

<br>

For those who still can recall<br>

The desperate colors of fall<br>

The sweet caresses of May<br>

Only in poems remain<br>

No one recites them these days<br>

For the shame<br>

<br>

So what if nothing is safe<br>

So what if no one is saved<br>

No matter how sweet<br>

No matter how brave<br>

What if each to his own lonely grave<br>

<br>

I don't want to live without you<br>

I don't want to live without you<br>

I don't want to live<br>

I don't want to live<br>

Without you<br>

<BR><BR>

<BR>
