White Lies - Unfinished Business lyrics

rate me

Just give me a second darling<br />

To clear my head<br />

Just put down those scissors baby, on this single bed<br />

The sand in the hourglass is running low<br />

I came through thunder, the cold wind<br />

The rain and the snow<br />

To find you awake by your windowsill<br />

A sight for sore eyes and a view to kill <br />

<br />

I broke down in horror at you standing there<br />

The glow from the moon <br />

Shone through cracks in your hair.<br />

I shouted with passion,<br />

"I love you so much"<br />

But feeling my skin, it was cold to the touch. <br />

You whispered "where are you?"<br />

I questioned your doubt<br />

But soon realised, you were talking to God now<br />

<br />

You've got blood on your hands<br />

And I know it's mine<br />

I just need more time<br />

So get off your low and let's dance like we used to<br />

But there's a light in the distance<br />

Waiting for me, I will wait for you<br />

So get off your low and let's kiss like we used to<br />

<br />

I looked in the mirror<br />

But something was wrong.<br />

I saw you behind but my reflection was gone.<br />

There was smoke in the fireplace<br />

As white as the snow.<br />

A voice beckoned gently<br />

'Now it's time to go'<br />

A requiem played as you begged for forgiveness<br />

"Don't touch me!" I screamed<br />

"I've got unfinished business"<br />

<br />

You've got blood on your hands<br />

And I know it's mine<br />

I just need more time<br />

So get off your low and let's dance like we used to<br />

But there's a light in the distance<br />

Waiting for me, I will wait for you<br />

So get off your low, and let's kiss like we used to<br />
