White Lies - Unfinished business - live at hoxton bar & kitchen, london / 2013 lyrics

Just give me a second darling
To clear my head
Just put down those scissors baby
On this single bed
The sand in the hourglass is running low
I came through thunder, the cold wind
The rain and the snow
To find you awake by your windowsill
A sight for sore eyes and a view to kill
I broke down in horror at you standing there
The glow from the moon shone
Through cracks in your hair
I shouted with passion, "I love you so much"
But feeling my skin, it was cold to the touch
You whispered, "Where are you?"
I questioned your doubt
But soon realized you were talking to God now
You've got blood on your hands
And I know it's mine, i just need more time
So get off your low and let's
Dance like we used to
But there's a light in the
Distance waiting for me, i will wait for you
So get off your low
Let's kiss like we used to
I looked in the mirror
But something was wrong
I saw you behind but my reflection was gone
There was smoke in the fireplace
As white as the snow
A voice beckoned gently, now it's time to go
A requiem played as you
Begged for forgiveness
"Don't touch me", I screamed
"I've got unfinished business"
You've got blood on your hands
And I know it's mine, i just need more time
So get off your low and let's
Dance like we used to
But there's a light in the
Distance waiting for me, i will wait for you
So get off your low
Let's kiss like we used to
You've got blood on your hands
And I know it's mine, i just need more time
So get off your low and let's
Dance like we used to
But there's a light in the
Distance waiting for me, i will wait for you
So get off your low
Let's kiss like we used to
