Pale Damp Cheeks

Pause, tear off the bandage

But it still bleeds, it still bleeds

Stop, try to hold it

But it still bleeds, it still bleeds

Pause for a second, love, for a second, love

It still bleeds, it still bleeds

Hold on for a second, love, for a second, love

Just till morning, just till morning

If I could run away now I would

If I could a make a way out of town, I would, I would

I would, I would

I would, I would

You pause and tear off the bandage

With pale damp cheeks, pale damp cheeks

You stop, try to hold it

But you fell too deep, your knees fell weak

Pause for a second, love, for a second, love

It's too deep, it still bleeds

Hold on for a second, love, for a second, love

Just till morning, just till morning

If I could run away now I would

If I could a make a way out out town, I would, I would

If I could run away now I would

If I could a make a way out out town, I would, I would

I would, I would

I would, I would

And you're on train ride home back to London

And your mind just keeps on wandering

You're searching for the sun and run

Pause for a second, love, for a second, love

It's too deep, it still bleeds

Hold on for a second, love, for a second, love

Just till morning, just till morning

Pale damp cheeks
