Guts

I'm the mother of the night

I'm the mother of the tide

At this moment

Oh please stay

Don't walk away

It's only the body that dies

And you know it's only because of the night-time

At this moment

Watch what you say

Just walk away

And when I walked down to the beach I was aching inside my guts

And when I held out my trembling hand

You just took it in yours and said "trust me"

And when the night is closing in I can almost taste your lust

Said "it's better to be facing up than to die by a thousand cuts"

And you know problems do arise

And we just go on leading our separate lives

Together forever?

At least that's what they say

Just walk away

And when I walked down to the beach I was aching inside my guts

And when I held out my trembling hand

You just took it in yours and said "trust me"

And when the night is closing in I can almost taste your lust

Said "it's better to be facing up than to die by a thousand cuts"

Oh baby! Tell me why

Can't I just fall asleep

I lie

I just lie here, thinking, thinking about it

I'll never, ever get over it

Or so I thought

I'll never, ever get over it

Just gimme some more time

Aw, just gimme some more time

(Just gimme some more time)

Aw, just gimme some more time

(Holy water in my eyes)

Holy water on my mind

(When chlorine gets in my eyes)

The chlorine it just makes me cry

(Salty water in my eyes)

Salty water in my eyes

(Salty water in my eyes)

Salty water in my eyes

(Salty water in my eyes)

It' just water in my eyes

(Salty water in my eyes)

It's only water in my eyes

(Salty water in my eyes)

It's just water in my eyes

(Salty water in my eyes)

Salty water in my eyes

(Salty water in my eyes)

Salty water in my eyes
